‘’Firsthand experience of the ergonomic flow, varied textures, chromatic hues and multi-layered spatial ambiance of the interior spaces, bridges between the physical and phenomenological, act as a prime trigger of emotional resonance. As a result, the curated proposition and balance of these elements was understood as an essential outcome of our reimagination of the ODYCY Hotel public areas. The lobby, now the core of the accommodation experience, blends the natural coastline echoes with vibrant guest energy. Predominant columns from the original hotel were strategically integrated into the lobby design, creating intimate spaces within the larger volume and reinforcing a connection to the landscape. Custom-designed furniture and varied textures evoke the sensory richness of the Mediterranean. The juxtaposition of elements, from warm timber to elegant stone, envelops guests in a sophisticated, comfortable space, fostering belonging and a profound connection to the landscape just beyond the hotel’s threshold. We developed a commitment to blurring indoor, outdoor boundaries, inviting guests on a sensory journey transcending traditional hospitality, offering diverse culinary experiences, atmospheres, and varied ambiances, allowing for an ever-changing understanding of the hotel. Through this process of transformation, the ODYCY Hotel delivers a destination that nurtures a strong sense of place and belonging, a ‘home away from home’ that inspires the desire for discovery and novelty.” Redesign of public areas including Entrance Lobby, Reception, Library, Side Street, Pre-Function, Espresso, Deck Restaurant, Keel Restaurant, Medusa, Minoa Roof Deck Restaurant, Cheeky Waters.
