Panos Nikolaidis Design Projects
Periscope
This country house in Parnassus is one of Panos’s favorites. It is the ideal winter escape at the edge of a wild forest. The form resembles a birdhouse, and below, the stone base houses the private rooms and the guesthouse. Above ground, there is a clear view through the trees to the mountains. Walking through the surrounding areas of the plot, you will be surrounded by nature, the local flora, and the fresh mountain air. The bedrooms inside are tastefully decorated and feature warm colors that contrast well with the dark brown wood. There is plenty of natural light, so you feel welcome in every room.
Tinos Summer House
The island of Tinos is known for its art and architecture, and this home is no exception. This residential project has three levels in an amphitheater arrangement, and the center stage is the inner courtyard, which has a welcoming pool. In the background, you have views of the Mediterranean Sea. The plot, like much of Tinos, is sloped and is isolated away from other homes. This is one of the beauties of Tinos as an island without an airport - it is accessible and immensely beautiful, but keeps a feeling of personality that is unique to the popular Cycladic islands. The home blends into the rocky ground like white pebbles in sand. The pool is one of the shining features of the home, with an expansive view of the sea and a unique sense of peace. The home is painted in warm colors of white, which are accented with wood elements. The bedrooms, living room, and kitchen are located in a perimeter around the courtyard. Plenty of windows mean the sunset is almost always in view from many parts of the home.
