2019-2020

collaboration project with Nadia Rapti and Elena Zournatzi

The owners of an existing building set on the traces of a small tomato factory, decide to turn their property into a small boutique hotel.
Six different suites are designed in the narrow and long site, with a capacity of up to 4 people and a pool along them. Half of them have their own private yard with a Jacuzzi in it.
The theme of each suite is insprired of different themes of the Akrotiri frescos, in order to bring historical elements of the past to the present.  Artwork in each suite is also based on the frescos of lilies, papyrus, monkeys, fish, antelopes, and swallows.
The building is painted using red powder in the plaster as red and yellow used to be the two basic colours of wall painting in Santorini. This was due to its natural powder and to the Enetian influence on the island’s architecture…
