The architectural design attempts to redefine the meaning of tourism accommodation as an offered cultural product and to promote it into an experience for the guest, connecting him with the place, the history and the island’s culture.
The goal was achieved by the abolishment of the stereotype of the hotel and the creation of an alternative hospitality space where the guest feels like living in a friend’s house, a relaxed atmosphere, where luxury services are offered carelessly and discreetly.
The buildings' allocation and their cubic plain forms refer to the traditional architecture and urban arrangement of the Aegean islands' settlements. The concept is integrated with narrow paths that lead to unexpected openings, external staircases, and built outdoor sitting areas.
