The striking white that one encounters on all traditional houses on the island is combined with the different colours of the cliff – all shades of brown and beige as well as the faded yellow that one can notice among the rocks.Īll colours from the cliff have been used in the interior spaces of the rooms creating an outcome that exists in complete harmony with the surrounding nature. This pure piece of land inspired the Parilio colour palette. At the top of this cliff, one of the most ancient and important acropolis of the Aegean was discovered. Ceramists from Morocco, Crete and Copenhagen created ceramic pottery, jars and functional objects as a tribute to the hotel’s main view, the Koukounaries cliff. Along the lines of this aesthetic result, one can also easily notice traditional techniques such as knitting and the art of ceramics. The Parilio visitor comes across a modern architecture approach that is influenced and combined with traditional images of the Cyclades. The Parilio aesthetic was conceived through a deep and strict design analysis that originates from the harmonic mix of new and old elements, modern and vintage materials and furniture, a practice that aims to create a completely new frame of reference. These images create a sense of time travelling to past decades, when life on the Cycladic islands was as pure as light itself. The reception area, the first image that is captured by the visitor’s eye, a modern sanctuary with narrow windows and a large entrance that is distinguished by a series of impressive arches, offers an overwhelming feeling of complete calmness. The design is influenced by the traditional houses of Paros and inspired by the fortress – like monasteries that one encounters on the island. The Parilio hotel architecture strives for the creation of a fundamental design reality and highlights the need for a return to the traditional principles of Cycladic architecture where studied simplicity is the protagonist. The construction began in January 2019 and was completed in July 2019. The new building required complete change in both interior and exterior spaces, the design of thirty three suites, a reception area, a restaurant, a pool, the surrounding area and a spa. The original building was composed of 55 rooms distributed in six buildings that were designed in the 80s, along the lines of typical island architecture, in a 7 acre area. The Interior Design Laboratorium team first got in touch with the preexisting building in December 2018. The overwhelming feeling that is provoked by the enchanting spectacle of sunlight falling on the Cycladic architecture volume inspired Interior Design Laboratorium to design an accommodation experience that seems to decelerate time. Located among the green meadows and the island reeds, next to the famous Kolympithres beach, Parilio – “the sun’s aura” – gets its name from the bright, sunlike optical illusion, often on a luminous ring or halo, caused by sunlight passing through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere.
