A Simple Ancient Greek House on Tinos

Traditional Greek building style has remained the same over the ages. Here is a vacation house on the Island of Tinos, updated to accommodate yet another century of loved and lived-in use by its owner, Greek interior designer Marilyn Katsaris.
The house has been lovingly hand built in traditional Greek style, with the same techniques as are used for adobe construction in the Americas, with the earth then covered in the traditional Greek way with whitewash.

The result is softened edges, even on hard construction details like stairs, and the most minimal nod to storage possible. This forces you to keep life simple and free of clutter, reinforcing a green lifestyle of less stuff.

The quirky chandelier and worn table provide a rustic contrast to rustic rafters and whitewashed plaster.

A little color is introduced to the overwhelming whiteness of the interior. The ceiling is washed in a color reminiscent of the sky and the sea seen out the window.

Only in the bathrooms are the plaster walls themselves tinted, and only in the aquamarines and turquoises of the views from the island.


The kitchen uses softly curved 1950s appliances to soften the shock of electric appliances in such an ancient setting.

The bedrooms harken back to a time when night time reading was done by gas light. But electric wiring is inserted in the walls and supplies a cooling fan.

Unique Bedroom Design by Steve Kuhl Featuring a Pirate Ship

Designed by Steve Kuhl, this amazing pirate inspired bedroom accomplishes a dream for pirate enthusiasts of all ages. Ingeniously constructed, the unique bedroom can be accessed by letting go of all fears and becoming a child again: at a superior floor, a hole in the wall takes you sliding down a slide to a comfortable pillow located in the actual bedroom. Once you get up, the eyes immediately rise to meet a wonderful, fairy tale structure: a large pirate ship high on the ceiling. A wooden rope bridge is used to access the ship, where the crow’s nest reigns, alongside a second bed, for guests. The crow’s nest was made using a ten inch hand-hewn timber for extra strength and a rope connects it to the dressing below. The structure of the ship was carefully created: “We used 2×12 ribs to construct the hull of the ship, covering them with layers of 1/2 inch plywood to act as the planking. Our genius faux finisher developed a bomb-proof blend of plaster and epoxy with integrated colouring to simulate an old ship’s hull.” There is another way to access the bedroom: through a door that also hides the magic kingdom of the sea. A jail cell with a custom steel door meets whoever enters the room. It also serves as the base of the rope bridge. This astonishing interior design will help the child grow up in a creative environment, don’t you think?
