Scorpios is a holistic place. It has been developed by a cross-disciplinary design team lead by Michael Schickinger of Lambs and Lions as the visionary and creative director of the project. Inspired by Michael’s vision, we worked closely with him and Annabell Kutucu, the interior decorator, to develop Scorpios’ master plan and architectural language. The design result is an atmospheric experience that celebrates beach culture and transcends the various design disciplines to present a total experience that submerges the visitor from the masterplan to its every little detail.
We tried to infuse Scorpios with traditional materials and construction techniques found in Cycladic architecture to root it in its site and context. It has been peppered with collected objects found by Michael and Annabell on their travels. The design is inspired by natural materials that set a laid back, down to earth and comfortable back drop for all the different activities that will take place there. It is a place that simultaneously excites the senses and calms the soul.
