Kyklos Cove, designed by K-Studio, is an architectural marvel nestled along the untouched coastline of Elounda Hills, Crete. This luxurious development is a key part of the larger Elounda Hills project, known for its eco-friendly and sophisticated design. The cove features a resort with its own beach club and marina, integrating circular waterworks that provide a natural refuge for boats. The design emphasizes the harmony between the natural and man-made, creating a symbiotic relationship that enhances the landscape’s inherent beauty. Circular flat planes gracefully intersect with the dramatic ravine, embodying the gentle interplay between nature and architecture.
K-Studio’s design for Kyklos Cove draws inspiration from the traditional town square, envisioning the coastline as a linear sequence of social and cultural hubs. These "punctuation points" activate the coastline, offering diverse spaces for year-round gatherings and connections to the water. The design philosophy reflects a deep respect for the natural surroundings while promoting a vibrant, communal atmosphere. The use of curvilinear outlines and the careful placement of architectural elements ensure that Kyklos Cove not only complements but also elevates the breathtaking coastal landscape.
