This study concerns the construction of a new 3-star hotel in the settlement of Myrthianos Plakias, in southern Rethymno. It is an assignment for the preparation of a preliminary study by a hotel company operating in the area.
During the analysis of the plot, the peculiarities of the natural terrain were identified, which presents significant height differences with a maximum of 9 meters. Furthermore, the boundaries of the plot form a peculiar shape on a relatively small plot area within the plan. At the same time, a view analysis of the plot was made, concerning the bay of Plakias, which is 600 meters away, something that played an important role in the composition of the building and the visitor's gaze. Particular attention was paid to the correct orientation of the rooms and their openings, for proper sun exposure and ventilation. The greatest possible use of planted surfaces was also sought.
The main idea of the composition was the creation of four levels and the elevation of the main common areas to the highest level of the plot. This resulted in the placement of the main entrance, reception and dining areas in the 3rd, which are in direct contact with the outdoor public areas and the swimming pool, located on the roof. In this way, the best possible view is achieved from the common areas and at the same time direct access from the street. The rooms were located west on the first two levels. Thus, on the second level, an unobstructed view of the sea is ensured, while on the first, privacy and a larger outdoor space. An important role was the use of planted roofs on each level of the building as part of the composition.
