Here's some more from the Oliaros:

OLIAROS launched its first project Antiparos Design Properties (ADP) in 2004, with 7 bespoke houses in 100,000 m2 of land, designed by young architects, successfully introducing the concept of high end, low density housing on the island of Antiparos in the Cyclades.

To date our properties have been published extensively and have received numerous awards, while the number properties has reached 24, situated on a total of 500.000 m2 of land, the 5 last available ones (Tree House, Sif 09, Viewfinder, Kratir, VLS) being introduced in the Summer 2010 season.

Antiparos is a small fisherman’s island located in the centre of the Cycladic complex of Islands in the Aegean Sea.

Located next to the Island of Paros, Antiparos offers the privacy and character of a small island and benefits from the services and amenities of its larger neighbour.

Antiparos is 80 miles away from Athens and can be accessed by plane & high speedboat via Paros, or privately.

Aloni and Kratir have received a number of awards (2010 Commendation AR House Awards, Piranesi Award 2009 and finalist for the Greek Architectural Awards 2009) for respecting the Cycladic landscape and re-interpreting the traditional characteristics of Cycladic Architecture in contemporary ways.
