Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino, Greece

2023
The Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino Resort is Greece’s first truly sustainable tourism destination, built in harmony with the natural environment and a commitment to social and economic responsibility for the local communities. As such, the client desired a visionary hotel at the heart of its development, and through this the world’s first earth-sheltered multiple guest suite hotel was conceived.
More than 4000 ancient olive trees were replanted across the resort with native coastal shrubs planted in pre-selected mixes across the undulating roofscape – offering seasonal interest with revolving arrays of colourful wild-flowers and grasses that nestle the buildings into their new home.

“Rooted in landscape and vernacular reinterpretation, the design integrates architecture, topography, and planting into a unified system. Fragmented forms and a restrained material palette create a hospitality environment that is both contextually sensitive and contemporary.”
— Philip Jaffa, Partner & Design Director, Coopers Hill
