KOS ETHEREAL SUITES & SPA

The study concerns a hotel complex with suites and a spa located in the town of Kos. The main objective was the renovation and modernization of the hotel in order to give it a new identity while also meeting the increasing demands of its guests.
The complex consists of a structure forming a right angle, within which lies the outdoor recreation area. The central volume is organized into three levels. On the ground floor are located the reception area, breakfast hall, kitchen, and some of the hotel rooms. At the same level, the spa is also designed, featuring a distinct entrance from the rooms, while maintaining internal communication with the rest of the complex. The bedrooms are arranged across the first and second levels.
The hotel’s outdoor area is tiered and includes a swimming pool, a built-in bar, relaxation areas, and a restaurant space. The latter is a semi-outdoor area featuring a wooden orthogonal ceiling supported by wooden columns and built-in seating along the enclosed sides. The interior framework of the dining area consists of wooden beams with infill made of natural materials.
The hotel reception area includes the front desk and relaxation zones, and it connects to both the breakfast/bar area via a ramp and the hallway leading to the bedrooms. The reception counter is made of wood, matching the wooden paneling on the wall behind it. The ceiling section above the counter is constructed from wooden beams forming a grid, harmonizing with the orthogonal wall finishes. The flooring leading from the entrance to the counter is also wooden, in contrast with the rest of the area which is covered with ceramic tiles, emphasizing and highlighting the point of customer service from the moment of entry.
The bedrooms are distinguished by wooden furniture, combined with polished cement and metal details. Each consists of a unified sleeping and relaxation area, along with bathroom facilities. At the entrance, storage elements include a metal clothing rack and a wooden wardrobe with rattan surfaces. Opposite the door is a low built-in partition that includes washbasins and a metal mirror on one side, while serving as the headboard for the bed on the other. A bar counter is added for relaxation and to enjoy the view through the large window opening at that point.
Concealed lighting both indoors and outdoors is combined with pendant and tabletop light fixtures, giving each space its own character and making the hotel stay a truly unique experience.
