Paxos is an authentic Greek island with a very green character and thousands of hundred-year-old olive trees. Twenty meters from the sea lies “Octopussy,” incorporated into the slope of the existing landscape. Only some parts are visible from the sea. These are finished with a faience created specifically for the project. The color palette completely matches the surroundings.

The plan is intuitively built around a central patio, through which visitors enter the building. Each space forms a unique sculpture, carved out of the mountainside.
The building emphasizes outdoor living, where an unconditional, unforced vacation feeling prevails.
