Due to this peculiarity and topography, a house was designed allowing views through the house to the sea and the peninsula.

The hotel complex is located between man-made and natural surroundings.

Organic shapes from black volcanic stones follow the curved contour lines creating a landscape that reflects the shape of the terrain. Occasionally off-white prisms that resemble the color of ‘aspa’ (volcanic ash of Santorini) appear.
