Alemagou, MykonosAlemagou is a bar and restaurant set beautifully on the sand of Ftelia Beach on the Greek island of Mykonos. Taking inspiration from typical Cycladic architecture, local firm K Studio have used the whitewashed, smooth-edged houses and dry stonewalls that blend into the rugged landscape as key elements of the design. Practical and hardwearing screed floors and a natural reed-thatched roof are applied as a contemporary yet familiar organic form, creating a unique character. Rather than shutting out the dominating natural conditions of harsh winds and burning 40-degree midday sun – the design embraces them turning the natural forces into its advantage. Idyllic to say the least. By Maria Argyriades of Yatzer. Photos © Yiorgos Kordakis.ALEMAGOU |
