Meaning SUMMER in ancient greek, THEROS ALL SUITE HOTEL is the epitome of slow living, on a greek island. The inspiration was traditional local architecture, reinterpreted with a modern vocabulary, through the implementation of bioclimatic architecture together with sustainable solutions.
The challenge was to create a village like complex, on an extremely narrow and long urban plot (40mX150 m) with indifferent surroundings, apart from its east narrow sea view side. The master plan solution, the creation of two distinctive zones, liberated the whole width of the eastern zone for the creation of the required ample public spaces.
The monolithic main building is constructed of local stone with a large mud joint, in the traditional way found on the island and in the adjacent windmills. The entrance is made through a wooden bridge over water, a reference to the medieval castle of Kos. The public functions develop in open plan The large, glazed openings on the two facades, blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space and the functions freely flow towards the two terraces, the inner terrace with the central swimming pool and the eastern terrace with the sea view. There is a perception that everything takes place under a huge shed.
The 47 suites are developed on the western part of the plot, in introverted neighborhoods, as in traditional settlements. The transition from the public - semi-public to the private space is marked by a differentiation of materials, plantings and finally the quality of the spaces. The exterior solid stone walls protect the privacy of the suites, while small narrow openings offer natural cooling inside. Passing through the castle doors to the communal courtyards leads to the discovery of the hidden paradise, with the private pools. Mediterranean trees and native herbs, embrace the complex contributing to the rural atmosphere.
