Project Description:

At the entrance of the traditional settlement of Dilofos, Zagori, the new building of the hotel “Althea” welcomes visitors to the settlement. The architectural study dealt with the building as a whole, incorporating the detailed design of the exterior, the individual interiors, the furniture of each space and their decorative elements. The study “married” the traditional morphologies with the modern digital ways of design and construction. The outer shell, according to the morphological standards of the area is simple, strict and typically symmetrical, with basic structure materials: stone, wood, blackboard on the tiled roof. In the interior, modern engraving and cutting techniques were applied in the design and construction of the furniture for each space separately, as well as in the wooden elements of the hostel: ceilings, closets, lighting.
