The topic of this dissertation reflects the construction of compartmental holiday residences in Agios Romanos, in the Island of Tinos. The place that they are situated is close to the sea shore. The terrain of the island is best described as rough, in combination with the characteristic scales on the ground. These small scales are structurally used to hold the integrity of the ground during the winter season when the rains tend to dissolve the dirt. More over, the ground on the scales is used for local cultivation, where plants are seeded on the scales.
 The residences are characteristic of the island of Tinos, and they can be found across the island in small communities or larger villages. The Cyclades type of architecture is best known for the wise appropriation of the volumetric spaces as well as the building materials. The outcome of this combination creates a unique scope of architectural integration in the landscape which results in a harmonious co-existence between the natural environment and the local buildings.
 The compartmental residences, in my dissertation, are situated in a linear way expanded in two levels, well adjusted in the morphology of the inclination of the hill. In an effort to reduce the thermal losses in the residences, I used the specific double linear positioning of the buildings in combination with their north-west orientation. In addition to that, the thermal losses are also minimized, by positioning the buildings partly in the tilted ground of the hill. My original plan was to build the residences in such a way that they take advantage of the morphology of the tilted terrain, in combination with their small cubic shapes that they are dictated by the local architectural mode. It is a complex that takes into account the harmonious co-existence of the human element with the structural aesthetics of the island.
 The local public road leads to the entrance of the group of residences, where close to that is situated the building of Reception. Pass the Reception, the dwellers will drive to their residences via the private small routes which also separate the structures in between. At the heart of the complex, one can find the pre-existent building A (cafeteria). The second building that also pre-existed the complex, is the building B which is used as a parking lot.
 Regarding the residences, each of the compartmental buildings is designed as a two-volume structure separated by a yard, that creates a building - vacuum - building architectural equation. The building materials that are used are traditionally of local origin. Specifically, the use of stone creates a unique combination with the white color that is predominant in the Cyclades architectural style. The narrow openings in the residences are few in numbers, and the overarching element of each residence is the balcony door in a white margin that stands out in every building. In conclusion, the proper development of the common areas of the complex, i.e. the paths that can be used for a stride, or rest, gives the right feeling of leisure time in these summer residences, close to the sea.
