This diploma project concerns of the design of a monastery at the countryside in the north of Tinos island. The monastery of the Madonna of Annunciation hosts 33 monks and is sited on a plateaubetween the steep slopes of the rock, facing the Aegean Sea. The monastery consists of 33 cells,  main church, dining room, archodariki (guest quarters), fountain, library, chapel, kitchen and accommodation facilities for 12 guests.

By the main entrance lies the monastery's chapel. In this space the visitor can stop and pray before entering. Everyday life is organized around the  main courtyard. The main church is in the centre of the composition. The dining room, the archodariki, the dormitories and all the other facilities  are arranged around the courtyard forming the boundarybetween the inner space and the external environment. Separating the two is not strictly guaranteed, but is indicated by the overall layout.

The cells are organized in multiple floors down the rest of the monastery all facing the sea. They are the personal space of the monks equipped with the bare essentials. They are separated from the other facilities but at the same time they are unified as a whole holding the life that lies above them one by one and all together at the same time.
