Parion Opus, boutique hospitality 6 suites in Paros

by: Epikyklos

The deliverable was to transform an abandoned infrastructure, originally constructed to house a country house, into a boutique hospitality located within an authentic Parian island neighborhood.

The diversity of materials and textures unfolds through a modernist approach to architecture and design, while a combination of carefully selected semi-tropical plants and Mediterranean herbs allows the surrounding space to add drama and a poetic interplay of materials and light shading.

The relaxed yet stylistic atmosphere of the 6 suites is achieved by personalised design applied to woodwork and furniture. Advanced and innovative materials in surfaces and ceramic tiles follow the design firm’s methodology that promotes homogeneity and flow using a creatively curated selection of materials.

The creative approach, interior design, architecture and landscape design was developed by the Bllend team.

The rooms in the wet spaces are clad with large ceramic surfaces in sophisticated stone textures and patterns, while the remaining walls are inspired by rough Parian plaster. Particular emphasis was placed on innovative materials and technology, such as Italian thermoformed wood surfaces leading to sustainable products that promote durability. All rooms extend onto private terraces with stone Jacuzzis and teak platforms suspended over the water element. The scene unfolds theatrically at night thanks to linear LED lighting that allows the volumes of furniture to float above the floors and the warm 3000 Kelvin light temperature to create a contemporary and intimate atmosphere.

The entrance to the building is achieved by an all-white abstract fencing, which creates a contrast with the black volume of the pool which is clad with a basaltic surface bearing an island with an outdoor hearth, to add the warmth of fire to the island aura of the Greek summer. Wooden pergolas that partially cover the private terraces with dark bamboo reeds protect from the sun and heat, while offering private spaces for meditation and relaxing sessions. The pergola on the pool deck offers loungers and poufs for relaxing and enjoying the hotel’s gastronomy using organic products from carefully selected Greek producers.

The same concept is being developed for the restaurant area and the wellness and spa rooms in the underground area of the building infrastructure.
