Paros construction and generally Paros architecture is well-known for their simplicity in forms and colors.
Paros island is a picturesque Cycladic island and Paros construction is everywhere on the island. In the towns, in the small harbors and in the small villages. A lot of traditional residences that abide by the Paros architecture style have just a small façade with basic opening. This is a door and a couple of windows.
The R-residence, the M-residence and The permeable house share these characteristics. Paros construction proposes also cubic forms which is one of its most characteristic elements. The R-residence has been a very old parian residence and it assimilates all these characteristics. Paros architecture adopts small openings, which most of times are just a little wider than one meter. Paros architecture also widely uses white colors, grey colors etc. In the R-residence project, this is the most focused element.
In addition Cyclades share most of these characteristics. Mykonos and Naxos are well known Cycladic islands. The Cycladic islands have small towns and small harbors that share these characteristics of small openings and small cubic volumes.
Paros construction has managed to preserve these elements up to this day. Paros construction offers quite common typological elements as Mykonos, Naxos and other Cycladic islands.
