Koundouros Mansion | Restoration of a 19th century residence | Hydra Island
Built in the era of naval prosperity of Hydra Island, the Koundouros Mansion sits on the upper hills of the Hydra port. The 530 sqm, 4-storey building, is privileged with unobstructed views to the old town of Hydra and the sea.
The restoration strategy was to reinstate the building to its original glory days without highlighting the new added design features. All the historical building details are being preserved while in the background, contemporary structural techniques, bring the building to the 21st century.
