Production Technology: The orientation and the scale of the building are a result of an overall sustainable design. The exterior sunshades provide sun-protection, while playing the role of dividers between balconies. The sunshades coupled with double-glazed windows control the amount of sunlight entering the building. The swimming pool and the landscape create a sort of microclimate.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge was to generate a hospitality design that is described as an experience destination. Aspasia Taka was in charge of the architectural study & supervision, the interior design and the general supervision. The construction of the project took place from October 2018 to June 2019. To that end, the short timescale was another challenge for the studio.
Research: According to the brief, the hospitality complex had to comprise of significant and distinguishable units in a small plot. Moreover, the building design should set up a landmark.
Inspiration: The architectural concept approaches the notions of temporary accommodation during summer vacations and socialization. Furthermore, private spatial and temporal units are being introduced in the building.
Project Duration: Serenity Suites lie in the Nikiti, Sithonia settlement in Chalkidiki, Greece. The architectural study was completed in September 2018. Construction took place from October 2018 - June 2019. The suites started operating in June 2019.
Operation Flow: The landscape provides unobstructed circulation and the swimming pool maps out private units for the ground floor suites users. Big window openings allow the light to steam through the suites and promote a pleasant elegance feeling.
The interior design transforms each suite into a functional, warm and aesthetically outstanding space delivering maximum pleasure, relaxation moments and a memorable experience to the clients.
