Meraki Hotel / Sigurd Larsen

Meraki Studios is a small boutique hotel nestled in the central mountains of Crete, where ancient olive trees populate the terraced landscape. Its architectural essence lies in the simplicity, with a concrete skeleton forming the basic structure. This exposed frame acts as a three-dimensional grid that adapts seamlessly to the sloping landscape, mimicking the materiality of a manipulated rock: It is built with the materiality of a rock, but cut orthogonally.
