Crete Ring House, ouáou! (wow in Greek)

Yasou! Nestled away on a Greek hillside in Agia Galini, Crete is this concept three-building compound by decaACHITECTURE. Started in 2012-13, the main house (the ring) has been completed and rest is yet to come. At quick glance it’s not your typical Greek house but exudes the best of Greek architecture. It is 165 nautical miles from the Sahara desert and displays true minimalism and brutalism at the same time, now we like that!
