Villa Skylar

Description

Sitting in a privileged position that allows superb views of the harbor and the Aegean expanse, Villa Skylar is located only a few steps away from the pulsing heart of Mykonos town. The aim was to successfully deliver a mix of old and new without losing the house’s original character. Inspired by vernacular architecture, the whole structure is a cluster of efficiently arranged cubes painted stark white to create a beautiful contrast with the colors of the sea and the sky. The interior is organized around an internal stone-paved courtyard that seems to be carved into the rock that surrounds it. Peppered with colorful flowers, this hidden oasis features a comfortable pergola-shaded dining and lounging area with a built-in sofa and an open-sky jacuzzi. At the front of the courtyard, a small terrace offers unobstructed views of the Mykonian seascape. A wooden door leads from the courtyard to a living room with an adjacent dining area, which is also accessed through the main entrance.

Modern elements blend seamlessly into the décor granting a contemporary twist to the brutal sculptural forms of the 70s. The walls are painted stark white allowing for the display of carefully selected artworks. The bold geometric patterns of the minimal furnishings are accentuated by the polished concrete flooring. The minimalistic ornamentation and lack of color draw attention to the large window which offers fabulous views of the Aegean. The kitchen is ultra-modern and fully equipped to serve cooking enthusiasts.

An interesting mezzanine that is used as a lounging area leads to the courtyard, which in turn leads to the rest of the living areas. The bedrooms are designed in the same concept, with stark-white surfaces and bedding creating an ultimately relaxing atmosphere. Wood-framed windows offer soothing views of the harbor and let the cool night breezes in. The ground floor comprises two independent studios. One of them features a comfortable double bed, a small lounge area with a built-in sofa, a kitchenette, and a shower bathroom. The other one is smaller in size, equipped with two built-in beds and a shower bathroom.
