In the tranquil village of Potamia, Thassos — where the mountain meets the sea — two sibling complexes were conceived: Helios and Selene. Two compositions in dialogue with each other, through light and shadow, day and night, water and earth.
The absence of sea view became the starting point for design. The space turns inward, seeking its own landscape — an interior landscape of water, where the pool becomes the core of life. Around it, the residential volumes unfold, as if embracing the element that unites them.
In Helios, six maisonettes, a reception area and bar, are arranged around the central pool — a place of gathering, light, and repose. In Selene, five maisonettes repeat the motif with a quieter symmetry, allowing room for silence and the nocturnal reflection of water.
The volumes are shaped with roofs oriented in multiple directions, creating a rhythmic skyline that follows the breath of the island. The green roofs soften the boundaries between architecture and landscape, allowing the buildings to rest gently within their natural setting.
A linear ground-floor volume connects the maisonettes, functioning both as a shaded promenade and a terrace for the upper levels. The rhythm is completed by wooden pergolas, which filter the light and introduce a sense of time through their shifting shadows.
Each residence maintains its own autonomy, with a private courtyard and either a personal pool or direct connection to the central one. The color differentiation between the two complexes accentuates their symbolic contrast — the warm Helios and the cool Selene, two expressions of the same island harmony.
