Stella Blue Seaside Resort

Crete 

Stella Blue represents a bold architectural reinvention of a seaside complex, where design goes beyond form to reshape the visitor’s everyday experience. The radical renovation became an opportunity for complete renewal, not only in appearance, but in the atmosphere of the space and its connection with the landscape, the light, and the water.

The water is placed at the heart of the experience: pools in direct contact with the rooms create a seamless flow between private and shared spaces, enhancing the feeling of relaxation and freedom. Water is not merely an element of wellness, it becomes an organic part of daily life within the resort.

Chestnut wood pergolas, with delicate shading filters made from thinner branches, offer natural sun protection while visually unifying the complex and highlighting the use of local, natural materials.
