Navarino 1

Situated on top of a small hill overseeing the Bay of Navarino, this picturesque residential complex is the reincarnation of the old ruin from where Captain Vassilis Konstantakopoulos envisioned the creation of the now famous Costa Navarino. Composed of two separate housing structures, the historical building preserves with incredible precision every aspect of the traditional country style, resulting in a setting that truly transports you to another era. The complex includes, apart from the two main residential buildings, a beautifully landscaped surrounding and a dedicated pool area with stunning views of the bay. The luxury villa is the first that is constructed in the area of Costa Navarino, completed as a first step to the Navarino Residences project. The mesmerizing  residence now stands proudly as a reminder of Captain Vassilis original dream and as a beacon of guidance for the future of the resort and community of Messenia as a whole. The entirety of the complex was built using the same exact stone that was used for the original structure, by salvaging the boulders that were found during the excavation of the surrounding area. Additionally, great care was given so that every detail of the finishes preserves the authenticity of the country houses of this period: from the copper-made traditional gutters, to the horse-chestnut wood features embedded in the exterior stone, and the old clay roof tiles that were salvaged from previously demolished traditional houses of the area.However, the resemblance to the traditional country houses strictly stops at the aesthetics, since every single part of the underlying structure, from the electromechanical systems, to the materials used and the equipment supplied, represents the highest standards of construction and the very cutting edge of building technology. Because of the need to preserve the facade of the already existing ruins the construction included many challenges in order to transform the crumbling shell into a statically sound  structure. These included extended use of Gunite, composite decking systems, and extensive reinforcements of the load-bearing structure. In addition to that, although the project, which was originally scheduled for an 18-month construction period started 4-months late, it was nevertheless completed successfully by Berios within the original deadline in only 14 months. The successful completion of this important project on budget and on time, with all the challenges that were overcome, proved an invaluable first step to the Navarino Residences project that is now underway.
