The distinctive geography of Greece, adorned with its countless islands and rugged islets, coupled with the seamless interplay of mountainous terrain and the aqueous expanse, serve as the cornerstone of our inspiration in crafting the hotel complex comprising three distinct building blocks.
With a contemporary lens informed by global standards, our aim is to invite guests to become voyeurs of the abstract tapestry woven by the mosaic of Greek landscapes, evoking a sensation of "gazing into the horizon," instilling the feeling that regardless of their vantage point, they are beholding an Aegean Isle.
Our creative impetus also draws from the maritime routes, the natural boundary that unify, partition, and define different places, as well as the thoroughfare that demarcates the two blocks nestled on the hill from the third, perched by the sea, engendering precisely the same ambiance.
In doing so, we establish a nexus of interconnectedness among the three blocks, each imbued with distinct architectural influences (contemporary architectural aesthetics, the architectural style of the Dodecanese, and the Cyclades).
While possessing individual identities, they are united by shared design principles, coalescing into a cohesive ensemble of contemporary hotel accommodations that amplify the experience of "gazing."
Distinguishing features are achieved through the modulation of white and blue hues, as well as through bespoke furnishings. Closer proximity to the sea accentuates the prominence of white, symbolizing the undulating waves, while distance augments the prominence of the oceanic blue.
Externally, the implementation of the rammed earth technique serves as a complement to and an embodiment of the main concept.
