The coastal retreat, named 'Echo of the Sea', showcases a modern renovation of a historic structure in Crete. Designed by the Greek architecture studio Entopos, it accommodates eight guests while reflecting the surrounding environment's influence. The design focuses on open-plan living with private bedrooms that offer sea views. Key architectural features include arched forms for transitioning spaces, perforated bricks for privacy and light modulation, and a pergola for functional shade. This blend of modernity with historical elements creates a layered experience and maintains the essence of its location near the Venetian fortress of Frangokastello.
Entopos' design features arched forms and textured facades, creating a coastal retreat that emphasizes fluidity between indoor spaces and the natural surroundings.
The interplay of open-plan living areas and private bedrooms allows guests to enjoy uninterrupted sea views, enhancing the overall holiday experience.
Architectural elements like the suspended pergola and varied material usage ensure both comfort and aesthetic appeal, while respecting the site's historical context.
The design melds modernity with existing structures, allowing 'Echo of the Sea' to echo its historical surroundings while providing contemporary amenities.
