River Resort, Peloponnese
The design of this resort is anchored on the stream that traverses the 170 acre plot. On its west side luxury villas generate a low density landscape scattering of free standing units. On the east side the hotel includes communal areas of a larger scale: reception, lobbies, conference center, rooms, restaurants, spa and common pools that become a second wet landscape echoing the stream itself. Within this variety of the densities, architecture retains a single organic vocabulary with curvilinear geometries reflected in the design of all of the landscape and the water elements. The facades of these convex and concave buildings often acquire wooden vertical blinds. These blinds beyond their shading function, they refer to the reeds that line the stream. A variety of alternating views between buildings, oblique and curved geometries, make the path with the resort like a promenade in a Mediterranean landscape.
