Stone House in Mykonos with Views of the Aegean Sea

Located on the hill of Aleomandra in Mykonos, Villa Mandra stands out amidst nature, offering breathtaking views of the sea and the sunset over the neighboring island of Delos. Designed as a vacation home for a young and vibrant couple, the residence boasts six bedrooms and was crafted to celebrate the stunning landscape, seamlessly blending with a garden protected by stone walls and sensitive landscaping.
Embracing a laid-back summer lifestyle, the house fosters conscious connection with family and friends, encouraging a peaceful existence amidst nature. The architecture revolves around this concept, turning every space into an opportunity for rest, contemplation, and exploration.
Key elements of Villa Mandra lie in its palette of traditional materials, such as lime, stone, and wood, employed in a contemporary manner to merge historical legacy with the context of modern life. The simple volumes, painted in white with soft edges, seamlessly integrate with the Cycladic landscape, while the thoughtfully designed pergola provides shade and protection to the expansive courtyard below.
The residence unfolds in three volumes arranged around a spacious central courtyard, serving as the focal point of the house, seamlessly connecting to the living and kitchen areas, offering panoramic views of the pool and surrounding gardens. With the private bedrooms located beneath the pool garden, guests can enjoy a serene view of the lower garden and the sea, ensuring a clear separation between social and private spaces.
The blend of natural and contemporary elements extends throughout the residence, with handcrafted stone walls, stone tiles in indoor and outdoor areas, and a carefully curated selection of furniture and decor that enhance the relaxed and earthy atmosphere of the house. Villa Mandra embodies the essence of Cycladic tradition, enriched by natural materiality and adapted to the contemporary summer lifestyle of Greece.

A young rich couple...uhm that's going to turn people off...A young and dynamic couple...ok thats more relatable as we show their multi-million dollar vacation home :) I love Greece and I LOVE this house.

Stop being such a whining bore...

[@tomstopper5281]

@@jn3674 being a bit too far up you own ass is just pathetic. To show your home purely as an ostentation of your wealth is crass. Achieve what you need to achieve without the need to seek affirmation. To say you are a young dynamic couple when you actually have inherited money it is just poor in substance and principles.

[@chriscaahbaugh2246]

This can be done for a small amount of money in reality 😃 if you know the material and how to work with the stone and concentrate most the walls follow simple principles for stone and the areas that they washed with the concrete are easy spots to hide the not so good looking stones from the site and also can be constructed 5 times quicker with less quality stone cause it gets the concrete wash afterwards.... Is just the hours put in to building it....they said the stone was from the site, so that cut about 90% of the building cost out just having the time to quarry and stage it for the build is all easily can be achieved in 1 summers worth of work for site prep and build for someone who has experience these materials.. it is a very simple design to be honest and well thought out honestly.. an easy but however labor intensive project that will last many, many years to a experienced builder of stone... 👏 👏 👏 bravo to the builders. This is well done

i worked with my Uncle and my father they both are best stone builder over 25 years i worked in Mykonos in this property we worked very hard there in a lot more property like this i really like to bring this style in to the UK to build houses and Villa’s with Natural Stone’s Natural Wood and Glass i have present 2 projects similar like this one to the Construction Loan Companies they are not happy to lend the funds for those projects i think they don’t like property with stones

[@mirageon]

I feel honored to have you here on the channel. It's a meticulous job, perfect finishing, you guys are truly commendable. Thank you for commenting. Regarding the resistance to using stones, I confess that as an architect, I have experienced this firsthand. I want to create a project with the features I've showcased on the channel, but the client doesn't find it attractive. However, when there's a house with these characteristics already built, they are the first to be sold and the most sought after 🤷‍♂️

[@Oceansta]

Hey, how much would it cost to build something like this? Land included?

[@mirageon]

@emilgemc8913, can you help us? Do you have an estimate of how much it cost to build this house?
