There is a general concern regarding the way the work is framed into the its environment so that one spontaneously represents the continuity of the other. This way, there are three factors that contribute to this: the materials (color and texture), particularly large windows that invite the exterior to the interior, and the architectural drawing that often follows the dynamics of the place so that the house is not an external or unwanted implementation. This whole desire, which reveals itself to be discreet and sober, follows a final goal of destroying the borders between the outside and the inside, giving rise to the idea that the house can be seen almost as aboriginal.

Also in the Greek case, a chromatic uniformity rule is strictly respected so that the landscape’s strength is preserved untouched. Facing an example in which the fusion with the space is imperative, it is important to analyze that the method followed is significantly different, since there is only particular care with the material and color of choice.
