Dotn blends modern design with snow-covered simplicity in Greek Mountain retreat

Perched 1,200 meters in the Helmos Mountain wilderness near Kalavryta, Snowfall House by dotn seamlessly integrates into its rugged surroundings. Designed on a 4,000-square-meter south-facing plot, the house captures sunlight while shielding against harsh northern winds. The property includes a main house for a family of four and a guest suite for two. Its south-facing façade offers sweeping forest views, while a covered courtyard between the ground-level volumes provides shelter on windy days. Inspired by the image of a rocky structure cloaked in snow, the design echoes the wintry landscape. Natural materials like wood and stone blend the house into its terrain, and vehicles are tucked into a basement garage to preserve the environment. ‘Snowfall House’ embodies a thoughtful balance between architecture and nature, embracing the elements with subtle elegance.
