Rhodia

Tourist Residence Settlement, Sithonia, Halkidiki, Greece

The famous Rhodia beach (eastern and western) can accommodate with good level of comfort up to 350-400 persons with certain beach attributes: beach beds, umbrellas etc. This parameter created the basis for the brief for the Rhodia hotel development, targeting 180 rooms with full service facilities including: – lobby, lobby bar, sports and wellness area, swimming pool, restaurant, beach taverna, beach bar, outdoor sports centre (dinghies, kayak, wind surf rentals), etc., based on the standard of 65-70 sq.m./room. Three types of hotel spaces to rent have been assigned by the client:
– Standard double or twin room
– Studio one volume apartments
– Luxury apartments with individual pools

The hotel is designed as of the “diffuse” settlement type, following the vital traditions of the Greek villages and naturally formed settlements. The buildings resemble the traditional family house units although they keep their modern and fine tuned finishing corresponding to the contemporary market requirements. Stone clad walls are meant to be used at the lower floors of the buildings, while light white walls – at the upper floors. The height of each building unit does not exceed a two floor structure (height to cornice = 7.00 m). This differentiation of materials (stone and white plaster) correlated in the best way to the tradition of the medieval monastery edifice at Mount Athos.
The plot area of the site is 500000 sq.m., the Total floor area of the development is 13000 sq.m.
