Mold Architects has designed the Perma retreat on Serifos Island, Greece.

This project is conceived as an orchestrated inhabitable collage of materials, textures, views and voids drawn from the island's landscape.

A concrete grid acts as the main ordering device, holding together Perma's different elements.

"Through architecture, these materials become tangible: defined, given scale and brought closer to the body," said Mold.

"Beyond a poetic intention to draw nature into the experience of dwelling, this approach became a real construction principle."

As a result, the site materials are recycled into the architecture itself, forming inhabitable spaces anchored to the ground.
