The Ring House is located on the southern coast of Crete only 165 nautical miles from the Sahara desert. Two concrete beams follow the topography of the hill to define the outline of the house. The ring is articulated by these concrete beams. It provides protected shaded areas, well ventilated interiors, surfaces for solar collection panels and protects an inner garden planted with varieties of citrus trees and edible plants. Altogether the house and its garden are designed to form a temperate microclimate, an oasis within an intensely beautiful but physically demanding environment.

环屋位于克里特岛南部海岸，距撒哈拉沙漠仅165海里。两根混凝土梁沿着山的地形来确定房子的轮廓。环是由这些混凝土梁连接起来的。它提供保护阴凉的地区，通风良好的内部，太阳能收集板的表面，并保护内部花园种植各种柑橘树和可食用的植物。总之，这座房子和它的花园被设计成一个温和的小气候，在一个非常美丽但对身体要求很高的环境中形成了一片绿洲。

At a broader scale, the house is a landscape preservation effort. In the past, the topography had been severely scarred by the random and informal carving of roads. The excavation material extracted during the house’s construction, was used to recover the original morphology of the land. Furthermore, a thorough survey of the native flora was done in order to understand the predominant biotopes in the different slopes in the plot. During the spring, prior to construction, seeds were collected on site and cultivated in a green house to grow more seeds. These were then sowed over the road scars for the regeneration of the flora.

在更广泛的范围内，房子是一个景观保护工作。过去，由于道路的随意和非正式雕刻，地形受到严重影响。在房屋施工期间提取的开挖材料用于恢复土地的原始形态。此外，对天然植物进行了彻底的调查，以了解地块中不同斜坡上的主要生物量。春季，施工前，现场收集种子，种植在绿屋种植更多的种子。然后在道路上播下这些，以便再生植物。
