Costa Serena Suites — four suites, Halkidiki

Halkidiki, 2023 — Hospitality, four suites, 168 m² total.

The brief

A small olive grove, second row from the sea.

Four guest suites and a shared courtyard with a single carob tree. Twenty-two months from first sketch to opening in May 2023.

Suite 4 is the one guests ask for by number. Forty-two square metres, nine months of joinery with carpenter Ilias Vlachos, and a headboard cut from a single piece of walnut he chose at the mill.
