Livro Living Next to Delphi

Praised by Homer and Pindar, Pliny and Plutarch, the ancient Greek site of Delphi has been revered for centuries as the “navel of the earth”. Seekers came from all over Greece to consult the mysterious Oracle and Sibyl, and great athletes and musicians took part in their Pythian Games. Dedicated to Apollo, the god of music, poetry, sun, medicine, light and knowledge, Delphi is today an important archaeological site with spectacular architectural remains of great historical and cultural significance. With this as inspiration, well-known Greek architect and designer Veta Stefanidou Tsoukala has designed several luxury homes in the region, known for their architectural scale play and subtle fusion of influences from ancient and rustic to elegant and modern. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Veta Stefanidou Tsoukala shares the inspirations behind her richly textured creations.
