Location
Mykonos, Cyclades

In this renovation of an existing abandoned building in Mykonos we wanted to maintain references to the island itself: To the rounded rocks scattered, imposing, in the landscape. To the wooden rooms protruding in the iconic Little Venice neighborhood in Chora and the traditional boats free floating in the Aegean blue. To the reeks spotting the landscape, used in many pergolas in the island. To the whitewashed paths in Chora and to the organic geometries of Paraportiani Church in Mykonos. Entry to the hotel is through a new fluid landscape of successive steps that seem to hover above a shallow slice of water. They introduce to a cool garden in the heart of L shaped in plan hotel. From there it is possible to access the pool and the restaurant, the latter formed as small islets in shallow water, shaded by reeds. In the interior of the rooms, free standing wooden screens house individual uses: closets, bathrooms and furniture. All acquire a curvature like rocks and traditional local boats; they become wooden islands sailing within the white interior. Along them, the bed and coffee tables form a family of shorts –original designs that define a unique interior, one designed specifically for this property.
