White Coast Hotel in Milos
The White Coast Hotel in the Mytakas area of Milos aligns with the plot's shape and orientation. This ensures uninterrupted sea and sunset views. The building volumes follow the natural contours of the landscape, creating a unified and functional design.
The building volumes form a continuous front that divides into four parts based on the landscape's relief. This front serves as a stable base for a structure that reflects the geometry of a Cycladic settlement. The design contrasts modern elements with traditional ones. It uses straight lines for modern features and split lines for traditional ones.
The reception and restaurant units face the sunset. This enhances the visual experience and creates points of permeability. A pathway between these volumes leads to an amphitheatric area. It ends in a communal swimming pool, reflecting the sunset and maximizing the natural landscape's impact. The stairwells and elevator add variety to the building's ridge. This results in an off-white volumetric structure defined by light and shade contrasts.
Cement mortar in earthy tones covers both interior and exterior surfaces. This reinforces the Cycladic architectural style. Parapets combine built walls and glass, while rectangular and elongated openings alternate. These elements echo the rhythm and proportions of a Cycladic settlement. The facade design considers wind orientation and flow. Roof holes channel strong winds upwards to cool the veranda area.
The facade design channels strong winds upwards, cooling the veranda and enhancing visitor comfort in Milos's microclimate. This approach ensures a pleasant experience while harmonizing with the natural environment.
Overall, the White Coast Hotel in Milos integrates modern architecture with traditional Cycladic design.
