BIG SEE award
Keras Cliff House, designed by Tzagarakis + Associates, has been honoured with a Big SEE Architecture Award, an international distinction recognising outstanding architectural projects across Central and Southeastern Europe.
The Big SEE Awards celebrate architecture that combines design excellence, innovation, and a meaningful relationship with place. Selected projects are evaluated for their architectural clarity, environmental sensitivity, and contribution to the built landscape within their regional and cultural context.
Keras Cliff House was recognised for its site-specific approach and strong dialogue with the surrounding landscape of South Crete. Its sculptural concrete forms, restrained material palette, and carefully framed views respond directly to the cliffs, light, and expansive horizon of the Libyan Sea, creating a residence that feels both grounded and expansive.
This recognition places Keras Cliff House among a curated selection of architectural works that demonstrate how contemporary design can engage thoughtfully with location, climate, and lived experience. We are grateful to the Big SEE organisation and jury for this acknowledgment, and proud to see the project recognised on an international architectural platform.
