Carr House
Athens, Greece

"Several proposals for a country house for Marion Carr, who wanted to build a retreat in Liodessi, near Athens, show Fathy's exploration of local vernacular construction methods, especially in roofing. The linear form of the house, however, remains constant throughout, with rooms arranged in series along a gallery to take advantage of nearby olive groves." (designed but not built)
