The Cubical Forest project aspires to be a space that has been designed based on the ideas of eco-living, co-living and wellbeing. It encourages the connection of the users with the nature, both due to its location but also based on its design. The project is located next to a dense area of pine forests and close by the sea front, two elements that became key tools of the design, that converted the project to a natural continuation of these two elements.

The Cubical Forest consists of 8 residences, with private areas for overnight stays as well as common spaces for coexistence in the surrounding area of the residences. The privacy-coexistence dichotomy constitutes the two main axes of design throughout the project. The building volumes of the residences were designed with the main criterion of privacy and security of their users. The buildings themselves as well as their openings face nature and avoid visual contact with neighboring properties. The private courtyards of the buildings and their swimming pools are oriented in a similar way, so that the users also in outdoor areas receive the feeling of privacy, security and tranquility, qualities that are also ensured inside the residences.
