Grace Hotel, in Agios Stefanos, Mykonos, consists of 32 rooms.
The aim of the renovation was to redefine the island's traditional style through a modern and 'fresh' aesthetics.
Spaces of the hotel attempt to reveal pictures from the nature, based on frugal handlings. The reception, was conceived as the bottom of the sea while the spa as an iconic 'forest'.
In the swimming-pool area, situated on the third level of the hotel, the space boundary merges the sea into the horizon.
The design of the rooms is informed by modern materials and clarity of forms. A basic feature of the space constitutes the handling of the sea view, where as far as the room decoration is concerned photography becomes a key figure. The view is framed, through the partial transparency in the bath and it is revealed cinematographically in the veranda, through a game of light and shade.
The photograph, natural size printed in canvas, is placed above the bed, as free cloth. The issues are drawn from the nature, the summertime, Greece.
The renovation of Grace aims to upgrade the quality of the hotel areas and refresh its atmosphere.
