As we developed the project concept, we turned to the Greek verb 'askeo,' which means 'to skillfully and diligently work with raw material.'

The main idea was inspired by the archetype of the cave, along with images of ancient tools and ceramic artifacts. The minimalist interior is infused with life and meaning through the raw texture of the surfaces, which replaces traditional decor.

The brutal character of the interior reflects authenticity and sincerity. The aesthetic function is embodied in the combinations of scale and proportions, the texture of finishing materials, and the carefully selected light sources.

The only accent in the project consists of collectible art pieces.

The country house in the forest village embodies an ascetic and puristic space with two levels and modern architecture.

The interior of the townhouse is designed with a focus on comfort and functionality, ensuring an abundance of natural light.

While the house incorporates traditional elements, the texture of wood is almost absent, highlighting the contrast between wood, concrete, metal, and glass.
