About Hotel in Kamari
A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Modernity
Hotel in Kamari, envisioned by Kapsimalis Architects, stands as an architectural marvel in Greece, thoughtfully designed in 2023. This hotel not only offers proximity to the serene Kamari beach but also presents a stunning northeast view of the sea and a southwest view towards Prophet Ilias mountain, integrating the natural splendor of its location into its design ethos.
Innovative Design and Spatial Dynamics
The property unfolds over two floors with a basement dedicated to auxiliary uses. Structurally, the hotel wraps around a dynamic central atrium which features a mesmerizing water element that transitions into a sprawling swimming pool. This design serves as the heart of the hotel, around which diverse hotel functions such as the reception, restaurant/bar, and guest rooms revolve in a distinctive asymmetrical U-shape. This layout not only optimizes the captivating views but also facilitates natural lighting and ventilation.
Interior Elegance Meets Environment Integration
Internally, the design pays homage to the traditional Greek architectural styles mixed with elements from the post-seismic modern architecture of the 1950s. The design includes vaulted roofs, horizontal porches, and distinctive stone walls, enriched with a palette inspired by the volcanic landscape’s earthy tones. The decor integrates terra-cotta terrazzo flooring, vibrant colors, and natural materials, enriching the space with Mediterranean charm and a hint of modern luxury. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, accentuated by tropical plants and sophisticated decor, ensures that every corner of Hotel in Kamari resonates with a distinct sense of place and luxury.
