In order to preserve the traditional elements and still harmonize the construction with the natural environment the ELVIAL W59 SI2 was chosen for the hotel’s opening systems. The benefits went beyond aesthetics. The architectural perspective is justified by the system’s versatility. The construction’s classic style is timeless and it is also going to be enduring, thanks to the profile’s unparalleled efficiency and durability.
The Island Concept draws inspiration from the Greek islands, their unique stories and the constant green of the private peninsula, on which it is developed. The design respects the proverbially modest architecture of the Greek islands. The interior concept is developed with the view to the Agios Nikolaos town, the Almiros beach and the Mirambellos bay, all locations of great beauty, as a core element. This element is accentuated by the unique MINIMAL LOOK opening systems that unify the interior concept with the surroundings. MINIMAL Look is a robust profile with a perimetrical frame of just 35mm, packed with technology features that maximise the system’s impermeability. Ideal conditions of the interior and an aesthetically pleasing frame make a delight of ample natural light and transparency that glorifies the view.
