Ah~ even the holiday passed in an instant! Did everyone take advantage of the good weather to go for a walk? For those of us who live in the urban jungle every day, we face gray and gray colors day after day. Lifeless color blocks, I think even creative people have become uncreative! Today we are going to look at an island in the Mediterranean Sea-Greece. If you only have blue, blue and white imagination of this country, then The following introduction may subvert your original stereotypes.
Located on the southernmost island of Greece, an abandoned watchtower from the 19th century was transformed into a boutique hotel by the architect couple Costas Zouvelos and Kassiani Theodorakakos, retaining the original Byzantine style and drawing from local materials. Sand and stone building materials, in the main structure of the three-story tower, face the problem of how to continue and preserve the original simple style, while also injecting modern and emerging aesthetic forces, so as to harmoniously adapt to the owners personal preferences and the main body of the building. And taking into account its contemporary elegance and beauty is really a big test.
As long as you walk inside, you will find that the open-air outdoor swimming pool has an unobstructed view of the coast. In the room, you can clearly see the narrow wooden stairs and interior decoration that have been deliberately retained, reminding you of the glory of the Roman era. And beauty; the use of environmentally friendly bathroom products and coconut mattresses are friendly calls to the local environment. In addition, the works of the Venetian sculptor Nikos Karalis, the owners favorite, are displayed here. Even tourists who don't usually have much leisure and elegance in art can enjoy the blue sky and white clouds created bit by bit indoors and outdoors. With great awareness, the surrounding island atmosphere is one of the shortcuts to quickly integrate into the local culture. If you are lucky enough to visit it, it will definitely satisfy your dream of a coastal vacation!
