A contemporary hospitality complex rooted in the layered history of Samos.
Sivilla Hotel reimagines the island’s architectural memory through a constellation of autonomous shelters and embedded narratives. Inspired by the Eupalinian aqueduct and the Castle of Lykourgos Logothetis, the project transforms historical typologies into a tactile, bioclimatic retreat, where folklore, landscape, and modernity converge.
Sivilla Hotel is a proposal for a new hospitality complex on the island of Samos, conceived as a spatial dialogue between past and present. Drawing from the island’s monumental heritage, the subterranean engineering of the Eupalinian aqueduct and the defensive poise of Lykourgos Logothetis’s castle, the design translates these typologies into a minimalist, ultra-modern architecture.
The hotel’s layout unfolds as a series of autonomous and semi-autonomous units, reminiscent of medieval towers. These vertical shelters form a sculptural ensemble that rises from an existing shell, offering privacy, panoramic views, and a sense of rootedness. A central trench-like circulation axis connects the units, guiding guests through a curated sequence of light wells and embedded exhibits. These moments of illumination act as a living folklore museum, seamlessly integrated into the everyday rhythm of the hotel.
The central unit is nestled into the hillside, composed of stone and slate walls, green roofs, and cave-like interiors. Bioclimatic strategies ensure thermal comfort and environmental harmony, while the underground spaces evoke the island’s ancient subterranean ingenuity. Architecture resists nostalgia, instead proposing a new vernacular—one that honors memory without mimicry, and embraces the unpredictable choreography of contemporary life.
