Sustainable Materials and Construction
Developed by TEMES S.A., the project emphasizes low-impact building solutions. Materials like structural glass, aluminum, and local stone were carefully chosen to balance design, durability, and environmental responsibility.
Landscape Architecture in Sync
The natural surroundings were shaped by Greenways Hellas LTD and Scape Design Associates, using native plants and organic pathways to preserve the ecological character of the site. 
A Benchmark for Modern Building Practices
