Designing Modern Short-Term Rental Apartments in Heraklion
About the project
This project involves the architectural design of four independent apartments intended for short-term tourist rentals, located in a village just outside Heraklion. The goal was to create a modern building that blends discreetly into the landscape, respects the architectural character of the area, and offers guests functional, aesthetically refined, and fully private spaces.
The Challenge
The design needed to strike a balance between integrating a new building into the existing residential environment and delivering architecture that is both modern and commercially viable.

Our Approach
Form & Spatial Organisation
The building is arranged across two levels, housing four residences with a shared central entrance. Two units are located on the raised ground floor, and the other two on the first floor.
Loft Apartments & Guest Experience
The first-floor residences include an internal loft, where the main bedroom is located, featuring a private terrace and jacuzzi, offering a more luxurious stay experience.
Interior Layout
Each apartment includes a living area, a fully equipped kitchen with dining space, one bedroom, and spacious verandas overlooking the Cretan landscape.
Privacy & Aesthetics
Architectural perforated elements and strategic planting enhance privacy for each unit without obstructing natural light or views. The connection with the surrounding nature is further emphasised through material selection and well-placed openings.

The Result
With a focus on functionality, architectural quality, and the evolving needs of guests, the project is expected to deliver:
- High commercial returns through short-term rental
- Modern accommodation immersed in natural surroundings, just minutes from Heraklion
- Flexible living spaces ideal for families, couples, or digital nomads
- A distinct architectural identity that enhances the value of the property
