Скачать или смотреть IDA & German Design Award Winner: The Isla Brown Corinthia - A Must-See Architectural Gem

Prepare to be captivated as we explore the breathtaking transformation of the iconic "Hanikian" hotel, nestled on the northern edge of the Greek Volcanic Arc overlooking the Corinthian Gulf. In this video, we delve into the total redesign that has bestowed a new architectural identity upon this mid-70s masterpiece.

Witness the evolution from a once rectangular modernist structure to a captivating organic form, inspired by the topography of its legendary location. The bright natural light accentuates the fluidity of lava, with square volumes transforming into a mesmerizing stack of white "pebbles." The design beautifully emulates landscape formations and the mythological embodiment of a volcanic eruption, creating a dynamic, sculpture-like effect that breathes life into the building.

Step inside the Isla Brown Corinthia Hotel, where 166 luxury rooms and suites await, each offering indoor dining, two bathrooms, and freestanding bathtubs for the ultimate indulgence. The common spaces are a symphony of design excellence, featuring a lobby, an indoor sea-view bar with a bronze sculptural countertop, an all-day dining restaurant, gym, and spa. Ascend to the rooftop to discover a magnificent infinity pool with a bar and lounge seating areas, providing breathtaking views over the Corinthian Gulf.

The renewed visual identity of the hotel is not confined to its exterior but extends seamlessly to the interior. Consecutive curved surfaces, volcanic shades of terracotta and amber, bronze mirrors, gold accents, and tinted glass come together to create a harmonious and visually stunning palette. Bespoke furniture, inspired by natural elements, adds functionality and contemporary aesthetics to the common spaces.

The Isla Brown Corinthia Hotel has rightfully earned its place among design visionaries, receiving the prestigious IDA 2022 Architecture/Hotels & Resorts Design GOLD Award. Additionally, it emerged as the winner in the Excellent Architecture Category of the German Design Awards 2024, presented by the German Design Council. These accolades recognize the hotel's creativity, innovation, sustainability, and cutting-edge aesthetics, setting international standards in the world of design.
