Perched on the cliffs of Imerovigli, this apartment was designed by THIS IS IMDA with one goal in mind: to enhance and frame the spectacular view of the Santorini caldera, creating a seamless dialogue between the interior spaces and the dramatic natural landscape.
The unique location allows for a ‘zoomed-in’ perspective on a section of the caldera, a view that feels intimate yet expansive, and we wanted to make sure this experience was present throughout the apartment. Photography by Vassilis Iliades Clear Line Photography, Ioanna Tsagkouli
The core design concept revolves around three distinct vaulted elements that define the apartment’s layout. The living area and kitchen occupy the front, while the bedroom and bathroom are positioned behind these arches. This series of vaulted forms was conceived as fragments of a single continuous volume. By partially “carving out” the middle dome, we created a visual corridor for the bed to align directly with the caldera view, while compressing the outer domes to maintain an architectural rhythm.
