The project is located at the beautiful southern suburbs of Athens, close to the sea. The location was an inspirational starting point for the development of the design concept, which revolved around naval design of the early 20th century.

On the exterior, the visual narrative is expressed through the curved edges of the massing, combined with the use of wood on the balconies. In order to enforce the sense of openness, we carefully developed a structural solution where there is no apparent structural beam separating the interior from the exterior, without compromising the structural integrity of the building.

The design language is also apparent on the interior, which was inspired by the art-deco interiors of shipping lines in the ‘30s. Those references are apparent in the geometry of custom made furniture, lighting and finishing details. The clean cut design is complemented by the use of wood and marble in light tones, which is a timeless combination in luxury naval design.
