This proposal is concerned a unique experience of sleep. It is about an introverted room which aims the rest and leisure, forming an artificial landscape with elements inspired exclusively by images of Greece, which stimulate the human senses, so that the traveler be individually experienced the experience of sleep.

The centerpiece of the room is the bed. The sleeping area is shaped and molded as a pebble that integrates several activities. Specifically, it forms a seat, a table and bedside tables.

Each side of the interior triggers a sensor of the human body. Specifically, the north side is a stone textured surface, creating a landscape that makes you want to touch it and to explore its imperfections and peaks. On the west side lavender bushes and a small olive tree stimulate the sense of smell. On the east side, the sound of running water dominates the room. Finally, on the south side there is a large window. Three wooden white panels with triangular holes are placed there, in order to isolate the room. Their design creates a unique atmosphere beacause of the reflections of water on the roof. The roof which tends to stimulate the sense of sight, offers a night sky with constellations.

Local materials are selected, that form a map of textures which remind the greek landscape and give the impression of an outdoor living.
