9010design has undertaken the full renovation of a boutique hotel on Zakynthos Island, redefining its identity to offer a refined yet effortless hospitality experience. The project includes the transformation of 30 guest rooms, public areas, a pool, and a bar, with a design concept rooted in minimalism and natural textures. The intervention embraces a soft, neutral palette that highlights the interplay of light and shadow, creating a serene and inviting environment. By integrating organic materials, handcrafted details, and contemporary forms, the design seamlessly merges with the island’s coastal landscape, offering guests an immersive retreat that embodies both comfort and sophistication.
Spatial flow and materiality play a crucial role in shaping the guest experience. By carefully curating transitions between private and communal areas, the design fosters a sense of openness while maintaining intimacy. The selection of natural materials—stone, wood, and linen—enhances tactile comfort, ensuring that each space evokes a feeling of understated luxury, authenticity, and timelessness.
