Pezoules is a term from the local dialect, that describes the technique of the farmers who cultivate the sloppy and uneven mountains of Crete, by creating flat strips of earth in order to cultivate it easier.

Two atrium in the back of the house with two cracks on the roof invite the physical light through the roof in cooperation with the openings in the front view of the house that integrates every corner in the house with the beautiful view towards the sea and achieves a vertical vertility and physical light to the subcave spaces.
