Terezas Hotel
This boutique cliffside hotel is part of a larger, thoughtfully designed complex, seamlessly blending into the landscape of the olive grove while showcasing luxurious amenities. Developed as a collection of four interconnected buildings, each structure follows the natural terraces of the cliff, offering breathtaking, uninterrupted views from every room.
Our design maximizes guest experience by including private pools for all ground-floor rooms, each pool subtly integrated into the terrace to maintain harmony with the landscape and provide an intimate, immersive experience. The hotel’s cascading form reduces excavation needs, relying on deep anchors to stabilize each level and minimize construction costs, while respecting the integrity of the cliff and surrounding grove.
As designers of the entire complex, we crafted every element to enhance its integration with the environment. Access routes, including lifts and carefully designed stairways, are seamlessly woven into the structures, allowing guests to navigate the hotel and complex without disturbing the natural topography. This cohesive design respects the olive grove’s unique character while offering a luxurious and ecologically mindful experience, setting a high standard for sustainability and elegance.

Twin Brothers villas
The twin villas, designed for two brothers, are conceived to fully integrate with the steep hillside, creating a sense of unity between the architecture and the natural landscape. The villas follow the slope of the land, utilizing the contours to minimize excavation and reduce the visual impact on the environment. By embedding the structures into the hill, the design maintains a low profile, allowing the homes to appear as though they are part of the terrain itself.
Each villa features a green roof, which merges with the surrounding vegetation, providing insulation, stormwater management, and a natural aesthetic that reduces the overall footprint. These living roofs act as extensions of the landscape, softening the presence of the buildings and allowing them to age gracefully within their environment.
Both villas include private pools, carefully positioned to offer expansive views of the surrounding area while preserving privacy. Though the villas are nearly identical in form to honor the bond between the brothers, subtle differences in orientation and layout create individuality, allowing each villa to capture unique perspectives of the landscape.
Large glass facades bring in natural light and create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between the homes and their environment. The use of locally sourced materials, such as stone and wood, ensures the villas harmonize with the natural surroundings while promoting sustainability. These materials, in combination with passive design strategies, contribute to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The twin villas represent a balanced fusion of modern living and nature, emphasizing the brothers’ shared connection while allowing for personal expression through individualized design elements.

Christina Hotel
The revival of Christina’s apartments, was a project of responsibility, sitting on a valley, only minutes from Sidari center, it was conceived in the 1980s as a holiday destination. Our proposal was to change the existing apartments to a modern hotel and extend it to a new building. Instead of following the existing architectural style, we decided to design something completely unique, modern with natural materials. Respecting the customers’ needs, the environment, and owners’ dreams. The systematic array of the unit provides a beautiful integration of low-density, harmonic building, hiding it from view away in the landscape, allowing the latter to take the front stage of the composition. The buildings further connect to their surroundings by stretching their walls outwards, creating in-between spaces in order to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.

This complex of villas is located at St Stefano village northeast of Corfu island. It is a mix of subterranean, metamodern architectural design combined with a detailed landscape design, which respects the microclimate of the area. The shape and orientation of the plot defined the basic compositional principles. The volumes of the complex are distributed on the basis of the nature of the terrain and the visitor’s spatial perception is determined by optical escapes. It consists of 4 uniform independent volumes, with clear geometric relations in between them, which are derived from the organization of the plan, and can be used as independent housing or as a hotel.

This summer house is located in the Roda area close to the village. The modern design with the use of local natural materials (stone, white plaster, and wood) manages to merge the facades of the building with the environment. Wooden pergolas and structural elements fully integrated into the environment try to protect the users from the intense sun and wind of north part of Corfu island. It consists of uniform independent volumes, with clear geometric relations in between them, which are derived from the organization of the plan. The orientation of the residence arises from the need for unobstructed views to the northwest and the need for a site protected from the north wind in the region. The dissolution of the boundary between the indoors and outdoors was also used as a synthetic tool. Large glazings dissolve that boundary and unify the site.

The villa is located in the Nisaki area. The main architectural challenge came in dealing with the steep, rocky, exposed site. The villa enjoys a uniquely privileged location and the richest nature of olive groves, cypress trees, and local herbs rising from the rear mountain, a step away from the villa threshold. In order to fit harmonically in the Corfiot landscape, we wanted to create an identity and a system out of which a series of structures would be born, each of them unique in adaptation to its surroundings, but all sharing an architectural language.

A clear separation of social and private zones and seamless circulation between internal and external space provides residents with a peaceful, comfortable lifestyle, in close contact with the surrounding landscape and architecture. The pool is strategically placed to enjoy the view but also to create a cooling breeze into the house as the north wind flows uphill and over its surface.

The Cubes
The residence is a rectilinear shape facing the sea, allowing for amazing views to be experienced from all points, so each room is imbued with the energy of abundant natural light and a panoramic view.
This project was a bet, was a struggle between cost and quality, and an effort to combine the old structure with the new one, so as to become a «home».
The strong ground slope and the hardscape led us to create a basement, to gain the balance we needed at a lower cost. Solving this problem, we continue to find a solution to the heat. So, we made the cubes, which allow the light but not the whole heat inside the rooms.
The orchestration of large, glazed expanses, protected from the heat via the elevation boxes, instead of obtrusive walls is a conscious calibration to lend a sense of transparency, connectivity, and inclusion.
At its essence, this is a home at peace with itself: where life flows like sunlight and the breeze, willing the visitor to stop and stare.

The main intention was to unify the various spaces of the house under one roof facing the Ionian sea, without creating a massive volume, accommodating itself however gently into the steep and intense topography of the site. The outdoor common spaces include two open “courtyards” shielded from the sun and the central part of the court, open to sunbathing and children’s plays. They offer vast relaxation spaces, either sheltered from the sun or open. All spaces were designed so that they could offer a great view of the Ionian and allow the visitor to become one with its surroundings.

In the first building these three stories hotel is not stacking in the same system but the dwelling units instead of following each other sequentially, some are further back and some further forward. We used almost the same technique in the second building, in which we made volumes of 3 levels that are deliberately oriented to the southwest.
