Skiathos Senses - Eco living
The concept of the Skiathos Senses hotel, developed by Metamo Interior Studio, revolves around eco-living and sustainable practices, hence the tagline "The greener, the better." It aims to provide a destination where guests can recharge their batteries while minimizing their impact on the environment.
Metamo Interior Studio's design for Skiathos Senses emphasizes eco-living through its use of certified ecological materials. Rooms are furnished with items made from natural materials, including CoCo-mat bed systems made of solid wood and natural rubber. Cotton sheets and sleeping pillows further maintain the natural theme. The orientation of the hotel takes advantage of natural sunlight for lighting and ventilation. LED lamps enhance energy efficiency, while the use of biodegradable and compostable materials further aligns with the eco-conscious design philosophy.
It places a high emphasis on energy efficiency, including minimal loss in heating and cooling, and the use of solar energy to heat water, supplemented by an energy-efficient heat pump for cloudy days.
Water conservation is a significant focus at Skiathos Senses, with waste minimized and a special saving system in place.
The rooms are furnished with natural materials, with beds made of wood and natural rubber, and all linens made from cotton to uphold the principle of naturality.
In terms of cleanliness, ecological cleaning products are used throughout the premises, and even the waste bags are made from biodegradable, compostable materials. The hotel seeks to impart its green philosophy onto its guests, encouraging them to connect with nature through various experiences. This includes gastronomic experiences, sports, and other activities like sailing, SUP, hiking, cycling, and diving.
These activities not only promote physical and mental well-being but also aim to awaken ecological awareness and inspire guests to adopt more eco-friendly lifestyles. Overall, Skiathos Senses operates under the belief that eco-living is a way of life ("modus vivendi") and a method to protect the environment. It promotes an intimate understanding and appreciation of nature, cultivating a more conscious and sustainable approach to hospitality.
