that his assets were to be divided in two: one half inherited by his daughter Christina, and the other half bequeathed to a foundation for the public benefit—the Onassis Foundation that would focus on education, healthcare, and culture, both in Greece and beyond.

The Public Benefit Foundation spends almost 40% of the net annual profits of the business, while the rest are invested over again. What starts as a struggle across the seas of the world comes back to Greece as social investment.

Since 1978, more than 7,400 scholarships have been awarded to students and researchers for postgraduate and doctoral studies in Greece and around the world.

Since 1992, a model hospital clinic—the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center—has been in operation, saving the lives of thousands of heart patients. The Onassis National Transplant Center, expected to be delivered in 2024, is yet another donation made by the Foundation to the Greek state.

The curved design is a perfect fusion of style and functionality.

T

e house could have been dubbed The Lemon Tree House. Besides, its circular design is due to the existence of such a citrus tree. In a location, such as the Cyclades, where the dry northern winds offer respite from the heat, yet they do

not allow any plant or tree to grow, the existence of a lemon tree in this specific plot of land led its owner and the architects to try and think of ways to protect it. The result is three concentric stone walls that shield it, along with the exterior living spaces that surround it. Simple mechanical apparati provide further protection from the sun and the wind, creating a cyclical domestic experience that adopts the perspective of a compass.

The communal spaces surround the central lemon tree on a single plane at the top level of the residence, while the bedrooms follow the downward slope of the landscape inscribed in the exterior concentric stone wall. The position of the house, in a way, feels like it is part of the mountains. Facing south, so that you can admire both the sunrise and the sunset, the house’s concept is that you may open all windows and then choose your ideal space. A path leads to two beaches, roughly a ten-minute walk. One is sandy, the other rocky.
