Seven Santorini island retreats by Kapsimalis Architects - architecture and design

Seven Santorini island retreats by Kapsimalis Architects



From converted caves to underground pools, here are seven hotels and houses on the Greek island of Santorini designed by local studio Kapsimalis Architects.

Saint Hotel, Odi
Stepping down towards the sea from the cliffs of the village of Odi, Saint Hotel features terraced patios with bright blue pools and white walls.
In total the hotel contains 16 rooms that occupy converted barns and cellars or have been dug straight into the cliffside. The suites open out onto private terraces separated by bright white walls, which have pools and loungers with views out over one of Santorini's volcanic bays.

Holiday House in Fira, Fira
Kapsimalis Architects renovated this holiday home in Fira, adding two roof terraces that each have a plunge pool. A further sunken pool in the basement sits under a vaulted white ceiling, visible through an arched window behind one of the home's beds.

House in Pyrgos, Pyrgos
Informed by the machinery used to quarry pumice out of the volcanic soil of Santorini, House in Pyrgos rises like a fortress or a rocky outcrop from the landscape.
"All pieces of the architectural history of the island are subtly combined and embedded in this monolithic structure," said Kapsimalis Architects.
