Project Brief

Aenaon consists of seven independent luxury villas and is built on the island of Santorini at the top of the world famous “caldera” between Oia and Imerovigli. The clients, who owned a premium land field in the area, required the creation of a luxury class hospitality unit capable of maximizing the market potential arising from the location.

Rundown

The challenging aspects of the project was the implementation of modern features and characteristics based on current technology infrastructure while maintaining coherence with the traditional architecture of the island and achieving seamless integration with the natural environment. Aside the legal requirements bound to constructing in the area, a series of other legal bindings regarding the licensing and operation of such units impose a higher difficulty rate during design and construction.

Materials selection for use in such a harsh environment where heat, sea salt and high deltas in temperatures during the seasons is yet another task that requires experience and attention in order to achieve both excellent aesthetics and maintenance cost balance. Aeanon features double glazed wooden frames that comply with local architectural requirements, thermal insulation, HVAC system, swimming pool filtration systems, in room A/V systems, custom designed concrete furniture fixtures and various seamless epoxy flooring parts to name a few.

Additionally, construction on such a steep slope and rocky terrain with limited machinery access is another challenge on its own at several levels (health & safety, methodology, cost, timing, weather). The key here was to take advantage of the terrain utilizing in-field found materials such as stone and volcanic sand, taking advantage of cavities and strategically positioning the structures considering both the commercial and technical factors (i.e. view vs sub-terrain characteristics). Our Lead Architect Andrew Mitilineos, successfully led CDM for all the engineering teams and guided construction crews from start to finish also providing custom design solutions and achieving results that not only exceeded client expectations but also raised the bar for the local competitors.

Success Measurement

Our mission was to create a destination that is attractive to candidate visitors, a unique experience for those who stay and one that urges them to return while they rate it high where and when it counts. Perhaps the greatest testament to the success of this project is the fact that along with exceptional customer service through the owners’ management, Aenaon has become an award winning destination (Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2014, 2015), judged as such, by those who count the most; the visitors themselves. The unit is fully booked every season since it started its operation while it supports charge rates on par with the maximum area potential leading to high ROI and excellent financial results.
