The plot of this work is found along a slope with southern orientation precisely before the entrance of the village Fhini in the street karvounas-platron. The place, as well as the topography of the landscape, have played a very important role in the final result.

The house is organised in two zones. The first follows a leaning line to match that of the streets and includes two half planes that accommodate the main living rooms and everyday rooms including the garage. The second zone includes the bedrooms and is organised one level below the street.

At the same time the building adopts a discreet morphology in relation to the street using simple and clear shape forms, unlikely to the south, where big openings give plenty of access to the back side where the courtyard of the house is placed.
