Project report

On the Greek peninsula of Peloponnese, a hotel complex was laid out in untouched landscape, which, thanks to its unique hillside offers spectacular views of the country-typical olive groves and the bright blue Aegean Sea. The design of the luxury resort is strongly influenced by classical Greek architecture, yet it is modern in its attitude and construction techniques. In order to perfectly integrate the 38 freestanding pavilions and a variety of Aman residences into the surroundings, their flat roofs were provided with greenery. Its character was largely orientated to the given natural vegetation. Due to the climatic conditions, all planted areas were provided with drip irrigation. On the pavilion roofs system build-ups based on the Floradrain® FD 40-E element were installed, on more intensively used surfaces Floradrain® FD 60 or even Elastodrain® EL 202 were applied.
