The Greek Foundation’s Best of 2021

Over the past 12 months at The Greek Foundation, we’ve been trying to showcase some of the best projects related to Greek design, architecture, photography, the arts and cultural production in general.

Our aim has been to bring our readers articles that will interest and inspire them, but also to connect artists to the world and bring the world closer to them, too. In this context, we have compiled a list of the most popular articles of 2020, which essentially offers an opportunity to go through some of the most impressive projects of the year, step by step.

Of course, this list would not have been possible without the support and contribution of our readers, and most important of all, the architects, photographers, designers, painters and all the other artists who shared with us the outcomes of their efforts, talent, imagination and vision. So, on behalf of the Greek Foundation, a big THANK YOU to y’all and we wish you a happy, prosperous and super creative New Year!

nCaved house in Serifos island by Mold Architects – Iliana Kerestetzi

NCaved is located on a small secluded rocky cove seemingly hovering just above sea level.
