A game of factors

The building designed by Kapsimalis Architects for the Neo Suites boutique hotel at Santorini is a dialogue between the architecture and the surrounding environment that creates effects of both contrast and harmony. All of which is aided by the outdoor furniture from S-CAB

The new Neo Suites boutique hotel resembles a game of Tetris, perched on the cliff of the Greek island of Santorini, at Fira. A position that led the designers at Kapsimalis Architecst to develop an articulated and fascinating architectural structure. Twelve rooms on the ground floor and eight on the first floor occupy two separate levels. The reception, restaurant, spa-gym and ancillary spaces are located on a semi-basement level, inside an existing stone structure. The organisation of the space has made it possible to provide all twenty luxury suites with a terrace, along with a private heated pool.

An intimate and personal space furnished with pieces by S-CAB that break out from the total white of the architecture with splashes of colour. The DRESS-CODE chaise-longue designed by Gumdesign takes inspiration from sartorial tradition and plays with the colour combinations of the seat and frame, leaving visible the texture and workmanship of the different fabrics. The metal SI-SI chairs by Meneghello Paolelli meanwhile are combined with Tripè tables in the round version, in a combination of simplicity and functionality. The same combination, in a version with square top of Tripè, welcomes guests into a special internal lounge.
