Our design concept draws inspiration from the breathtaking Cycladic landscape, characterized by its rugged hills and crystalline blue beaches, as well as the iconic meltemi winds.
We sought to encapsulate the essence of wind within a singular aesthetic, showcasing the timeless charm of Cycladic architecture with a contemporary twist tailored to the modern traveler.
Central to our vision were the Greek mythological Auras, serving as the thematic foundation for our accommodations. We aimed to evoke the fluidity and power of these winds through each unique suite, playing with curves, textures, and gradients to create an immersive experience.
Reflecting the diverse personalities of the winds, each suite is named and designed to convey a distinct intensity, expressed through a carefully curated color palette and spatial arrangement. Ground floor suites exude a sense of gentle breeze, with hues of blue, white, and soft sands dominating the space, while upper-floor suites embody the strength of the winds with darker tones and rougher textures.
Concealed lighting adds a touch of luxury and warmth, accentuating the craftsmanship of handcrafted paintings that capture the essence of the wind. Glass surfaces are strategically placed to complete the idea of the wind, further enhancing the immersive atmosphere of the accommodations.
