Viglostasi Residence in Syros is a stunning architectural retreat that masterfully blends traditional Cycladic aesthetics with contemporary minimalism. Designed by the acclaimed architecture firm Block722, the home integrates seamlessly into the island’s rugged landscape, offering an experience of discreet, understated luxury.
Comprising a cluster of low, rectangular volumes with a total area of 500 square meters, the residence is organized around a network of pathways that connect indoor spaces with courtyards, gardens, and terraces. The main house features a primary suite, a second bedroom, and a spacious open-plan living area. Two additional guest suites are subtly linked to the main residence through shared amenities and all enjoy unobstructed sea views.
At the heart of the complex lies an open-air “plaza” that leads to a 25-meter infinity pool and an outdoor lounge terrace with panoramic views stretching across the horizon. On the lower level of the property, a gym area and a yoga terrace provide moments of serenity and privacy.
The architectural concept draws inspiration from the clustered forms of small Aegean villages, expressed through minimalist geometry and natural materials such as stone, wood, and plaster. The interiors are flooded with natural light and decorated in earthy tones, featuring terrazzo Palladiano floors, traditional shutters, pergolas, and bespoke details. A landscape of native plants and a green roof further reinforce the residence’s harmony with its environment.
Materials like Olympus marble, travertine stone, bamboo, and oak wood elevate the design with refined, tactile sophistication, while the strategic positioning of the volumes ensures breathtaking views from nearly every corner of the home. Viglostasi Residence is not merely a summer getaway — it is a poetic homage to Aegean living, inviting its residents to slow down and reconnect with the surrounding natural beauty.
