The project involved a comprehensive refurbishment of a 1950s building to reflect the rich heritage of Dimitsana, a village renowned for its significant role in the Greek Revolution of 1821 and the symbolic narratives of Arcadia.
The design approach aims to both celebrate and reveal this cultural legacy while redefining the concept of what a wellness hotel. has to offer.
Textiles like the “Kaplan,” a rectangular woven fabric characterized by geometric patterns and fringes, informed the selection of materials and fabrics, imbuing the spaces with an authentic sense of place.
To honor the local heritage, architectural and interior elements draw inspiration from traditional folk art and crafts.
In the communal areas, design elements reference the village's pre-industrial history, specifically the “bar mills” where the impure nitro used in the Revolution of 1821 was processed to produce essential war materials.
