O LOFOS, GREECE

A home shaped by landscape and craft

Set within the northern foothills of the Thrypti mountain on Crete’s eastern side, O Lofos is a contemporary retreat where nature and craftsmanship guide the architectural narrative. Designed by Block722, the residence spans 280 m² and unfolds across a gentle slope, offering a serene living environment surrounded by expansive views of mountains, plains, and the Mediterranean Sea.

Rooted in heritage

The design draws deeply from the island’s natural palette and artisanal traditions. The house is composed of smaller, interconnected volumes that break down its scale and create a subtle architectural rhythm. Local wood and stone anchor the project to its setting, while softly textured surfaces and handcrafted detailing evoke the region’s enduring heritage. The approach privileges discretion and respect for the landscape, allowing the residence to blend harmoniously into its terrain.

Pure and contemporary

Balancing modernity with organic simplicity, the architecture merges Scandinavian minimalism with Japanese influences — a hallmark of Block722’s sensibility. Clean, refined lines complement tactile materials, resulting in an atmosphere that feels both grounded and contemporary. Light becomes a guiding element: the powerful Greek sun shapes surfaces, reveals texture, and defines spatial transitions between indoors and outdoors. Each route through the home is carefully choreographed to frame vistas and support a slower, more mindful way of living.

INC – sculptural clarity in form

The INC by Piet Boon series is a natural fit within this design language. Its fluid, sculptural lines reflect the home’s blend of simplicity and refinement, while its soft geometry complements the tactile materials found throughout the residence. The hardware’s understated presence enhances the calm spatial rhythm and reinforces the project’s focus on craft, natural beauty, and timeless detailing.
