Robolo Hotel

Nestled at the foothills of Mount Olympus, Hotel Robolo emerges from the careful restoration of a preserved 1883 stone-built mansion, exemplifying traditional Macedonian architecture. The project’s vision was to create a unified identity, reflected both in the architectural design and the broader visual communication.

The architectural intervention focused on preserving the building’s historic essence while introducing contemporary functionality and understated luxury. The original stone shell was meticulously maintained, while all remaining elements were reconstructed following the typology of the historic structure. A harmonious interplay of wood and metal defines both the architectural components and the custom furnishings.

Handcrafted solid wood floors and marquetry, carved panels, painted ceilings, artisanal metal doors and railings, perforated metal courtyard panels, timber logs, a cast brass dining table, and the wood-paneled fireplace compose a narrative of materials, textures, and craftsmanship. Special attention was given to the design of the bathrooms, where cement mortar intertwines with tiles featuring bespoke patterns, colors, and motifs. Throughout the hotel, textiles, artwork, and functional details consistently embody the same design vision.

The project extended beyond the architectural space to the design of signage, branding elements, hotel directories, and printed material, completing a holistic identity that seamlessly ties architecture with experience.

Hotel Robolo was a finalist at the 100% Hotel Show 2018, participating in the public choice awards.
