Text description provided by the architects. The site of Voronoi’s Corrals (VNC HOUSE) is a large parcel of land (60,000sqm) on the Southern coast of the island of Milos, Greece, protected by the European treaty Natura 2000 which allowed us to build only 250sqm. Therefore, we scouted the site in search of micro-environments and identified the most potent locations for a variety of uses, taking into account the sun trajectories, the prevailing winds, the views, the sound of the sea, the geological morphology and the vernacular flora. These locations are the points that we chose to stimulate in order to develop our proposition, forming a non - Cartesian grid. The grid is based on the ideas of the mathematician Georgy Voronoi. Our Voronoi grid defined the geometric structure of our interventions, from the planting schedule, to the space layout, to the even floor pattern.
