A Cave-Like Home Built into a Rocky Cove

Nestled in a secluded rocky cove on Serifos Island is an unexpected site – a modern, cave-like house. With strong north winds present, a protected shelter was needed, leading Mold Architects to build the house into the sloped land instead of on top of it. nCAVED was designed as a rectangular grid on the slope creating a three-dimensional “chessboard” made up of solids and voids that became the interior rooms and carved out exterior spaces.
