Villa F by Hornung and Jacobi Architecture

Who doesn't dream of having a holiday home in Greece? We do - and we wouldn't at all mind if it looked like the striking Villa F. Designed by <a href="http://hornungjacobi.com">Hornung & Jacobi Architects</a>, the 220 sq m holiday home proposal was created for a couple who sought a separate space for guests. <a href="http://inhabitat.com/architecture/prefab-housing/">The prefabricated timber structure</a> makes sense given the climate conditions of the coastal site in Rhodes, and rooftop <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/photovoltaic-panels/">photovoltaic panels</a> ensure the project's self-sufficiency.
