Project:
Originally built in the late 1920s, the Manna Sanatorium received patients of tuberculosis who hoped to heal from the benefits of living within the arcadic woods for almost a decade. Designed by Swiss architects, it stirred away from the neoclassical current of the moment in the area, and gave more specific nods to central european architecture characteristics.

Transformed by K-Studio architects together with the owner Stratis Batayas who spent his childhood summers around that area, redefining the very same concepts of hospitality, wellness and retreat that made it ideal in its first life cycle, through a contemporary prism to make it a modern sanctuary and a destination in itself. The secluded location, the unspoilt natural surroundings combined with the emblematic architecture of a lost era, inspired us to translate this vision into an optimistic and respectful continuity of this long history.
