ZOYA RITUALS HOTEL

EGYPT-NORTH COAST
This private residence is in the Paleo Psychiko area of Athens on a plot of 785m². It covers a total of 540 m² in three levels. The elevated ground floor features living and kitchen areas, while the bedrooms occupy the upper floor. The lower ground level comprises a playroom and guest house. The project is a reconstruction and extension of an existing older residential building. The requirement of the owners was to maintain the outline and the contour of the older building and create there a modern house that will meet their functional and aesthetic needs.

Zoya Rituals Hotel was envisioned as a coastal sanctuary, where architecture and interior design merge to create a calm yet sophisticated retreat. Our studio undertook the complete design of the interior spaces, including the reception area, restaurant, outdoor bar, and guest rooms, with a focus on natural materiality and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape.

The reception embodies understated elegance, combining textured plaster walls, sculpted stone surfaces, and bespoke wooden elements. Organic pendant lights and curated furnishings introduce a tactile quality, setting a tone of relaxed sophistication from the very first arrival.

At the heart of the hotel, a landscaped courtyard frames views toward the lagoon while offering guests a serene, shaded transition between interior and exterior. This architectural gesture reinforces the rhythm of light and shadow, emphasizing a spatial flow that is both open and intimate.

The restaurant and outdoor bar celebrate social gatherings through warm tones, crafted timber details, and layered lighting. The open-air setting embraces the coastal breeze, while contemporary forms and natural finishes evoke an atmosphere of laid-back luxury.

Guest rooms continue this language of simplicity and refinement, defined by clean lines, earthy textures, and soft, neutral palettes. Each space is designed as a private retreat, balancing comfort with a strong sense of place.

Through a carefully curated material palette and a commitment to contextual design, Zoya Rituals Hotel reinterprets coastal living in a contemporary, timeless expression.
