Divercity

Award winning Athens and London based architectural firm Divercity. What can I say? Amazing contemporary designs referencing Greek heritage, a local vernacular with an international appeal. Holding its own against a stunning landscape I'm drawn to their hotel work whether almost suspended in the sky in Mykonos and Santorini or grounded in the rocky fields that surround their conversion of a 13th century manor in Monemvasia. Their work is inspiring and simply beautiful.

I mean, that and a little Greek yogurt, what more do you need? Ok, fresh peaches, but not much more.

Before I read the text, I knew that these photos are from Greece.
I guess I'm an authentic Greek :)
Congratulations to Divercity!
