Villa Vicanti

Villa Vicanti is a stone villa in Mesochori, near Pylos, in the Peloponnese region of Greece. Its architecture combines stonework, timber and tiled roofs, with covered terraces opening onto a garden and swimming pool. This photographic series follows the relationship between the house, its interiors and the surrounding landscape.

Stone, timber and spaces for outdoor living

I approached the exterior photographs through clear architectural views and more intimate garden compositions. The pool provides a strong foreground to the stone façade, while the terraces, paths, hammock and shaded seating describe how the outdoor spaces connect. Aerial photographs add a different perspective, showing the arrangement of the villa, pool and landscaped grounds.

A considered view of the interiors

Inside, the photographs focus on the materials and character of the rooms: timber ceilings and exposed beams, stone walls, fireplaces and distinctive furniture. The sequence moves through the living and dining spaces, kitchen and bedrooms, before introducing the stone-walled wine cellar. Natural daylight and controlled perspective help explain each space while retaining its warmth and texture.

From daylight to twilight

Daytime photographs establish the architecture and setting. Sunset and twilight views then bring the exterior lighting, pool reflections and covered dining terrace into focus. Together, the 19 photographs present a complete visual account of Villa Vicanti, balancing spatial clarity with the atmosphere of the property.
