Villa Sol Mare: A Restored Cycladic House in Paros by Isola Studio
Isola Studio, established in 2021 by Chaido Kaproulia and Eva Lavranou, has introduced Villa Sol Mare, a renovated Cycladic residence in Naousa, Paros. Spanning 90 square meters, the property boasts three bedrooms and bathrooms while maintaining its original architectural style enhanced with modern elements. Characteristic of early Bronze Age Cycladic design, the house features white surfaces for cooling purposes. The exterior showcases textured plaster, wooden windows, and Aegean blue shutters. Inside, highlights include terracotta flooring, timber craftsmanship, and a barrel-vaulted kitchen with walnut cabinetry. The bathroom is adorned with red travertine and marble sourced from Tinos and Naxos. A reinforced roof accommodates a pool, complemented by terraces and indigenous plants.
