Our study
area is located in Pieria, Greece more specifically in Skotina Village. The
study plot is the former camp of EOT, known during its period 1973-1990 as
"Camping Olympus".

Key points
Highlights of the design:
- Categories of roads and trails (main wheeled roads, minor pedestrian and light motor vehicles, pedestrian trails) in cellular structure.
- Main-Auxiliary Buildings
- Network routes
- Energy management (production, storage, consumption) - Waste management (collection, treatment, disposal)
- Rainwater management
- Shading-Wind protection
- Customer service - supply, services
- Storage, protection during winter semester.
The entrance is on the south
side and as we head towards the gate we find that it is an almost flat plot
with a strong natural element mainly to the side. At the same time, we observe
the existence of permanent structures (wet areas, energy storage, public uses
such as restaurants, etc.). The immense size of the plot (400 acres) had to be
restricted in order to optimally and substantially study the site.
Due to this we have therefore
delimited with data:
- Orientation
- Distance from Aigialos
- Existing buildings
- Existing central artery
The proposal:
It is a complete hotel unit
with a café-restaurant and a marina. The selection of uses included in our
master plan are intended to achieve optimal accessibility of the site. Our goal
is access by land and sea. The need for continuous contact with the sea across
the plot is interrupted by its near-zero slope. To achieve this union, we
created waterways "canals" to the hotel unit. The visitor has the
opportunity to browse the area by land and sea.
Our need for maximum
preservation of the natural element of space has been a tool in our design.
Specifically, the reference to the natural element includes the centuries-old
plane trees, the contact with the sea and the general feeling that the building
will bring to the space.
The choice of stone reinforced
this character and created a locality relation of the band to the area. Lastly,
we focused mainly on the ground-floor exploitation of the site in order to
avoid the view being cut off by the dense foliage of the trees.
Hotel facilities:
- 37 rooms-suites of various types
- spa area
- breakfast / event room
- swimming pool and pool bar.
