Divercity
Mon, 18 Apr 2011
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 love the simplicity! And I ache to go back to Greece.

Beautiful pictures and great ambiences. Very cool!
I mean, that and a little Greek yogurt, what more do you need? Ok, fresh peaches, but not much more.
I hope you both enjoyed your weekend! Good for you to take a little 'me-time' (or 'you-time' ;)). Beautiful views and colours in this post!

Great! Now I'm going to be figuring out a way to get over to Greece like asap!
Wow - so so inspiring! I'm ready for a little getaway. ;)
All things white look so beautiful against the backdrop of Greece...
Now that's what I call a sympathetic and light renovation of a heritage property. Lovely - hope you both enjoyed your well deserved weekend :) Sammy

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