Tella Thera, Crete, Greece
Tella Thera seamlessly fuses Crete’s traditional architecture with modern elegance, offering a serene retreat that prioritises sustainability and eco-conscious tourism. Nestled within the natural landscape, the design incorporates green roofs planted with olive and Mediterranean trees across all buildings, enhancing thermal insulation while encouraging biodiversity.
Inspired by Chania’s Venetian arches and Crete’s cave dwellings, the hotel reinterprets tradition through a rhythmic façade of full and half arches, leading to interiors sculpted in continuous microcement finishes.
