The renovation of the existing hotel, derives from the urge to provide a unique high-end experience. The shared vision, was to create an architecture proposal strictly based on a black and white color palette. The main challenge was to combine contemporary design with traditional architectural elements.

Entering from the street level, through the reception area, guests are gradually descending to the more private areas of the hotel. On the highest level, pool, lounge
and dining areas are featured, looking over to a view of the Archipelago.

Found on a plot with steep inclination, the original hotel was a 'labyrinth' of 10
rooms, while only half of them had a balcony over the sea view. Maintaining the
original 'shell' of the building, the circulation was re-organized, resulting in producing
11 rooms and a villa. The new arrangement allows all rooms to be more spacious,
have a private infinity pool and an uninterrupted view of the Aegean sea. The light
and view of the sunset are dominant elements of the new design, while privacy is
achieved.

The whole design relies on a combination of contemporary architecture and
tradition. A celebration of location and 'genius loci', while serving the main purpose
of its use. Providing guests with a high-end, yet relaxed lifestyle.
