Skyfall Suites: magic "falls" from the sky

The Skyfall Suites, perched on the cliff of the hill in a prime location in the center of the island with magnificent views of the endless Aegean Sea, fully justifies its name as appears to "fall" from the sky.

The Skyfall Suites is located just 500 meters from the central square of the picturesque village of Pyrgos, the old capital of Santorini island until 1800, just below the medieval castle and in a short distance from the airport, the port and the capital of the island, Fira.

Skyfall is comprised of seventeen private suites with outdoor private swimming pools or jacuzzis where guests can enjoy undisturbed views and the mystical energy of Santorini.

The design concept and the decoration style that is followed to the internal and external spaces is a mix of genres and trends, a combination of materials, a journey through space and time. The Skyfall Suites is characterized by the combination of conflicting and disparate elements into a single outcome that strongly bears the stamp and signature of the designer. The traditional architecture combined with the principles of modern design, the graceful architecture of Cyclades completed with notes of the Arabia and East architecture, creating multidimensional spaces with distinct personality.

Particular attention has been given to landscaping with the use of sail as a shading system and the creation of private pool or Jacuzzi in every suite. The choice of sails (shade sails) as shading system except protection from sunlight and achieving privacy between the suites is a reference to architecture from the East and is fully integrated with the central design idea of "swinging" of Skyfall Suites.

The creation of a pool or Jacuzzi in every suite contributes to improve the quality of the final aesthetic result. The user's contact with water, the fundamental natural element that is a prerequisite for the development of all life, inevitably creates a sense of intimacy and psychological comfort that contribute to relaxation and tranquility.

An old stately house in Messaria renovated into a luxurious villa

The old stately house is proudly located in the center of Messaria, the crossroad of Santorini. Messaria village is situated in the center of Santorini and its existence is recorded back to the middle of 17^th century. The original architecture of the village is interesting, a combination of stately houses and domed shape cave houses tunneled into the volcano rock.

The old lavish house renovated and transformed into a luxurious villa, fully harmonized with the natural environment in the picturesque village of Messaria. Architects main concept was to maintain the traditional island architecture and combined it with contemporary design, elegance and modern amenities in a total white scenery with the use of color as a design tool in order to give a touch of uniqueness.

The villa is comprised of four traditional suites, with an inspirational color palette for each villa highlighting the total white background. The two outdoor heated jacuzzis and two spacious patios invite guests to enjoy the energy and lifestyle of authentic Santorini. Suites are crafted with high respect in traditional architecture.

The wide use of natural materials, furniture of exceptional elegance with references to traditional elements (built-in beds and sofas), antiques of historical and sentimental value create a relaxing and sensational ambience indoors and outdoors. The rounded edges inside and outside of the building, the use of concrete preformed into unique forms creating the illusion that the actual dimension is lost and the building is characterized by plasticity and movement, the characteristic morphological feature of all projects of Oikos Architecture.

Architectural sculptures through space and time

Architecture is considered to be the "mother" of plastic arts. The main goal of architecture is to meet the basic human and spiritual needs, distinguishing the person from his environment, while creating a sense of human scale.

Traditional architecture worldwide, is structured from local materials, defined by the topography and the climatic conditions of each area. Although Santorini belongs to the Cycladic architecture, characterized by simplicity, plasticity and scale, simultaneously takes advantage of the peculiarities of the island and has created a built environment with an unusual freedom of expression through time, creating Santorini’s traditional architecture.

Oikos Architecture’s works combine traditional island architecture with modern design, comfort, functionality, ergonomics and luxury. The source of inspiration is nature, movement and human. Particular interest is given not only to the mass of the building singularly, but also to the aesthetic effect of a project in the specific environment in which will be situated, for this reason pure forms and materials are preferred to be easily understood and familiar to the public.

The mass of total construction breaks in a variety of forms and shapes, creating an interesting synthesis which is the characteristic morphological feature of all projects of Oikos Architecture. The wide use of natural materials and concrete preformed into unique forms, creates a special effect perfectly assimilated by the natural environment.

All edges are rounded inside and outside of the building, thus creating the illusion that the actual dimension is lost and the building is characterized by plasticity and movement, like an organic form that flows through space and time, like a sculpture emerges through the mystical energy and eternal beauty of Santorini.

Fabric in interior design

The fabric is one of the most important parts of interior design that highlights the space and adds a touch of warmth and immediacy. The coordination and choice of fabrics is one of the key elements for an integrated decorative effect. There is so much variety in yarns and designs, which makes fabric the most flexible mean to add texture, color and pattern in a space, as well as create a specific mood and ambience.

Pillows, throws, sofa fabrics and any other use of fabric, as a mean of epidermal decoration, transform a space and give the character and style it deserves. Linen, cotton, silk, wool, geometric motifs, floral and ethnic prints, an endless palette of textures, colors and designs, combined appropriately to give any room a distinctive personality. A variety of fabrics and textures is the secret to give to a plain and indifferent space a 3dimensional, layered sensation.

The creative use of fabrics could transform and give strong personality to a space, combining the traditional architecture of Santorini with the mysterious, warm and full of colors Arabian and Indian design through a contemporary point of view, creating a multicultural and very special outcome that reflects the interaction of the island with foreign cultures for many centuries. There are no rules, there are no limits, only personal taste. Countless combinations of patterns and colors create a unique style by transforming a simple space into a work of art, following two key words: harmony and balance.

Tips for stylish results:

• Maintain a similar overall color theme. Of course, this does not apply to the colors used as contrast colors.

• Use the lighter color of the fabric for accessories like pillows, candles, etc.

• To create interest, simply combine fabrics with different weave and relief elements. For example, use silks and cottons.

• Mix different fabric patterns sizes.
