Η κατοικία “Summer House” στον Γάλατα Τροιζηνίας συνδυάζει με μοναδικό τρόπο το παραδοσιακό νεοκλασικό στυλ με μια διαχρονική άποψη μοντέρνας αρχιτεκτονικής. Ο σχεδιασμός της κατοικίας είναι εμπνευσμένος από την ελληνική αρχιτεκτονική του 20ου αιώνα, χωρίς όμως να την μιμείται άκριτα, αποπνέοντας κομψότητα και μεγαλοπρέπεια. Η χρήση πέτρας στο εσωτερικό, ενισχύει την αίσθηση της οικειότητας, ενώ το παραδοσιακό στυλ αποτυπώνεται στις καλαίσθητες αναλογίες και τα διακοσμητικά στοιχεία όψης. Το εσωτερικό της βίλας διακρίνεται για την ευρύχωρη διάταξή του και την άριστη σχέση των εσωτερικών χώρων. Το στέγαστρο και η πισίνα προσφέρουν μια επιπλέον διάσταση στον χώρο, δημιουργώντας έναν εξαιρετικό εξωτερικό χώρο που συνδυάζει την άνεση με την υπέροχη θέα. Η στρατηγική της θέση, προσφέρει πανοραμική θέα στο γύρω τοπίο, δημιουργώντας ένα ιδανικό σημείο χαλάρωσης και απόλαυσης, ενώ το στέγαστρο προστατεύει από τον ήλιο, επιτρέποντας στους κατοίκους να απολαμβάνουν τον εξωτερικό χώρο όλο το χρόνο. Οι εξωτερικοί χώροι σχεδιάστηκαν έτσι ώστε να ενσωματώνονται αρμονικά στο φυσικό τοπίο, με λιτές γραμμές και υπέροχες διαμορφώσεις πρασίνου. Η κατοικία αυτή παρέχει τις ανέσεις και την κομψότητα της σύγχρονης ζωής, με μια απόλυτη αρμονία με το φυσικό περιβάλλον.
