IN A UNIQUE LOCATION AT THE HEART OF THE TRADITIONAL TOWN OF THIRA, THE HOTEL WAS ORIZINALLY BUILT IN THE 70's. DUE TO IT'S INITIALLY ENORMOUS VOLUME THE MAIN TASK WAS TO DOWNSIZE THE STRUCTURE AND TO BREAK DOWN THE MASS BRINGING IT INTO A MORE FRIENDY TO THE SURROUNDINGS SCALE. EARTHY MATERIALS SUCH AS KOURASANIT, CCEMENTS MORTARS AND PEBBLES HAVE BEEN USED INSPIRED FROM THE LOCAL PALLETE. CURVED INTERIOR SPACES REFFER TO THE "CAVE" TRADITIONAL HOUSES, SOFTENING AN DREVERSING THE EXCISTING SPACES, CREATING A COOL SHELTER WITH UNPREVAILED VIEWS TO THE AEGEAN SEA.
