If, in addition, we can enjoy those vacations in a home like Monolithus, designed by the local studio Kapsimalis Architects , as accommodation for tourists and visitors, on the Greek island of Santorini , success is more than assured. Abroad Kapsimalis Architects On this occasion, the design surprises, above all, for the way in which it is inspired by natural elements. And we are not just referring to the beauty of the landscape in which it is located, which is truly exuberant, but because the studio conceived this design as if it were a large piece of volcanic rock that has been eroded during and shaped by the action.
To achieve this characteristic exterior appearance, monochromatic and geometric shapes have been played with, which reach their maximum expression here. With its Cambodia Telegram Number Data stone solidity, this "man-made monolith" is actually a 20 by 20 meter concrete block . However, it does not clash with the landscape, but on the contrary, its appearance fits perfectly with the colors of the ground, as if it were really a rock that had always been there since the dawn of time. Lounge Kapsimalis Architects The complex is made up of four rooms, with a main structure. Outside it, we find other buildings between gardens and patios shaded by high walls.
