Stunning green-roofed villa blends into Greek hill

• newatlas.com by Adam Wiliams

Named Villa Ypsilon on account of its green roof being shaped like the Greek letter Ypsilon – a Y-shape when capitalized – the summer residence blends seamlessly into the hilltop it sits upon, enabling owners to walk up to the top and enjoy the view.

Villa Ypsilon comprises a total floorspace of 150 sq m (1,614 sq ft) spread over an entrance, master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, kitchen, breakfast area, living room, and a couple of bathrooms. Though the projects are totally different, the way it integrates into the landscape brings to mind Scotland's Culardoch Shieling.

Inside, the decor is very clean and white, broken up by detailing like the wooden ceiling. The villa's private areas, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, face the east, while common areas, like living room, kitchen, etc, face the south and provide excellent views thanks to generous glazing.
