Maroulas Tower House references the traditional tower houses of the Rethymno region, Crete. It seeks to establish a dialogue with the surrounding natural and built landscape.
The project is shaped by a discreet dialogue with the architectural language of the village, a place with deep Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman roots, marked by its characteristic fortified tower houses.
Reinterpreting the morphology of the traditional tower through a contemporary lens, the design draws inspiration from the defensive typology of historic towers and the simplicity of Cretan vernacular architecture.
