The courtyard of the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes gathers fragmentary antiquities against a crenellated stone wall: a draped headless torso, a lion sculpture on a plinth, ancient vessels. A ribbed, coil-built ceramic column stands among them, contemporary work set in quiet dialogue with the classical.

A plywood-lined corridor at Casa Iriarte draws the eye towards a light-filled living area, where a buttoned leather armchair and footstool sit on a Persian rug. Sliding glazing opens to a courtyard with metal café furniture, and a yellow-framed element edges the view.

Soulful Dwellings

Textured terracotta brick walls frame a timber portico entrance, where hand-painted fish motifs decorate the pivoting wooden doors. A fishbone-patterned timber screen shades the upper storey, while a green mosaic-tiled plinth displaying a drum-inspired ornament and lush planting soften the threshold as a staff member steps inside.

An area at SHA-LA Waterfront with changing facilities and refreshment stations leads onto the mezzanine lounge. Mirror panels, chrome furniture, pale cabinetry and polished dark floors create a clean, futuristic atmosphere, while glimpses of brickwork, curtains and concrete hoppers keep the industrial context in view.

The open-plan kitchen and living space at Skylark, where a chestnut-timber beamed ceiling meets pale brick and polished concrete floors. A dark veined marble island with tan leather stools anchors the room, while floor-to-ceiling glazing and a tan leather armchair draw the wooded garden into the warm, mid-century-inflected interior.

The attic office at iolair, where a built-in plywood desk runs beneath the steeply pitched white ceiling. A raking skylight and a circular window frame a tree canopy, while a sheepskin-draped chair, a small mushroom lamp and a ribbed wall light fixed to an exposed Douglas fir post warm the spare, light-filled room.

From above, the playground’s circular platforms, spiral stairs and red mesh railings form a playful topography among dense olive canopies. The bright yellow flooring threads through the existing trees, emphasising ZAV Architects’ adaptive reuse strategy of building with, rather than over, the landscape.
