Evora Suites - Gavros Village

Construction: 2021

​

The “Evora” Suites are located in village Gavros, near Karpenisi village, in famous winter tourist destination for Greeks.  The hotel area is surrounded by typical mountainous geological feature and the site presents a slope from northest to southwest. The current way on the east side is the only way to access the hotel.

 

The architectural approach, tried to configure a building volume inspired by the typical, traditional houses located in the villages around Gavros, which could be harmonically integrated with the landscape and other buildings in the village. The volume includes four suites, each on a distinct level and a small multi-purpose area, which also hosts the breakfast room.

The design philosophy here was to create a small scale hotel as a caring and soothing place, where the visitors can spend qualitive time in between other activities such as winter sports and hiking which are some of the main reasons for which people tend to visit the region.Each one of the suites is uniquely designed, within a solid concept of an alternative approach of hospitality, in which the guest feels like home.  Wooden elements, stone walls, fireplaces, colors inspired by the trees and cliffs, and hot bathtubs coexist with the mountainous landscape and create the era of relaxation in a consciously luxury atmosphere. Beyond the materials inspired by nature, mirrors and glass facades contribute in the development of a dialogue between the interior protective space and the almost wild landscape in the periphery.

 

The suites address to those who seek a situation away from everyday life to recharge their spirit and body and enjoy moments of relaxation in a unique landscape.
