VILLA
The Blue Rock Villa is a six-bedroom, four-bathroom house located a few minutes from Hora Mykonos, Greece and the beach. Built on a hilltop, the villa boasts a 360-degree panoramic view of Cycladic Island and the Delos archaeological site. The architecture and design by Jean-Pierre HEIM Architect and HEIMstyle balances the best qualities of past and present with the ancient Cycladic builders’ respect for the constraints of nature, creating a unique environment—sparkling white walls, charming bedrooms with their own baths and terraces, picturesque patios, and plantings that surround the house reflect the direction of the wind. Welcoming tents and pergolas protect terraces from the summer sun and angled roofs collect winter rain for later use. While the house is occupied mostly in the summer sun and angled roofs collect winter rain for later use. While the house is occupied mostly in the summer, its vernacular form, which complies with strict local construction laws, makes living inMykonos a tantalizing, year-round possibility. The hardware, furnishings, and accessories have been selected with nothing less in mind, drawn from the best sources available worldwide. The outdoor living room furniture, for example, comes from Mexico and the indoor furniture is the collective work of the many places where HEIM has traveled. Carpets, lamps and millwork are products of Morocco, ironwork is from Tunisia, and the doors represent the handicrafts of India and Saudi Arabia. The pool, 20 m long by 2.5 m wide, is built atop a rocky hill adjacent to a seating salon under a tent. The unique design enhances the landscaping of the house.
