Discover the House

The courtyard

On the western side, through the old stone wall and entrance gate, one can access the enclosed courtyard and the first level of protected intimacy. 

Here, there is a fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining area. 

The stairs lead to the old terraces, preserved and restored in their original form, now used for meditation, exercise, and enjoyment.

Ground floor

At different times, it served as a storage for olive oil and wine in an ideal environment with a pleasant stable temperature during summer and winter, then as a blacksmith's workshop and a living space for the old Mila and Petar.

Here you may enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with everything you may need for a pleasant stay at SHE house – fridge, oven, stove, toaster, all the pots, and pans, as well as all the other cooking utensils for creating the best home-cooked dishes.

Across the open space is the living room, with a handmade armchair, concrete couch (we know it sounds ouch rather than the couch, but it is super comfy, trust us!), smart TV, unique stone table, and for those vintage lovers among you – a record player!

The stairs inside lead to the second level of intimacy and two bedrooms – the one on the right is the male energy-filled bedroom and on the left is the female energy-filled bedroom, dividing and connecting the two worlds, that of the male (animus) and that of the female (anima). Or, the two hemispheres of the brain, the left, which processes data and controls logic, and the right, which navigates in space, makes sense of what we see, interprets, and controls feelings and intuition. 

Two worlds divided by the physics of space and united by the mutual desire of animus and anima in the space of the realization of the most intimate desires of eros.

In the men's room, darker colors dominate. There is a shower separated from the sleeping area by a glass wall and a large, handcrafted wrought-iron bed with a large mirror on the ceiling above it.

In the women's room, there is a vintage bathtub that invites guests to immerse themselves in femininity. There is also a handcrafted sink shaped to resemble the female genitalia. While the bed in the men's room is sturdy, wrought, with regular lines, the bed in the women's room is floating – "suspended" in the air on thick nautical ropes. Examples of interpretations of femininity, eros, and passion abound throughout the house and its surroundings.

Terrace

On the first floor of the house there is also a terrace with a pool, which is embraced by the fruitful branches of a nearby mulberry tree in summer, a tree that is a symbol of the tragic love of mythical Greek lovers. 

The pool has built-in jets and heated water, and the built-in bar is certainly an additional plus.

Attic

The hallway that further divides and separates while connecting the worlds of animus and anima leads to the main spiral communication of the house. Climbing up, we enter the attic, a space of ecstasy, hovering and dreaming. Attics are often neglected spaces in a house, but here it has been transformed into a luxurious meditative space.

The warmth and steam from the sauna, as well as the massage jets from the jacuzzi, have a relaxing effect on the mind and body, making the attic an ideal place to unwind after a long day exploring the island.

Penetration room

Yes, you’ve read that right. SHEhouse has its own penetration room! Even though some might say all rooms are penetration rooms (those are our types of people!), this one is quite special. Discovering a water cistern below the level of the blacksmith’s workshop, we realized it is the best place to combine and illustrate what this house is all about!

The water cistern, or penetration room, is located below the level of the ground floor of the house, below the level of visible, clear, and light. A space in which everything is possible, a space that is empty, that is underground and hidden and can only be understood and interpreted by the intuition of the female anime, which alternately rules the underground and the above-ground of the world, ruling the day and night rituals of life.

We use the word “penetration” here to represent entering or making your way through something, or someone. So it is up to you to decide what you want to do inside this room. There is a built-in bed, as well as a bar accessed through what used to be a well.
