The study and design of a tourist accommodation friendly to its users, in the most "inhospitable" northern part of the island of Mykonos, because of the strong winds that blow during most days of the year.
Generally the climate of Mykonos is characterized by strong northerly winds mainly during the summer months, the so-called meltemia, which have an intensity of about 7-9 BF which in places can reach instantaneously 11-12 BF. Almost the entire island receives these winds, but in its southern part they arrive weakened. Also the wider area of the Cyclades is the driest-thermal of Greece and receives the least rainfall. For this reason, the island, like the rest of the Cycladic islands, is characterized by dry-vegetable vegetation.
In this work, an attempt is made to demonstrate the fact that, through design and through the use of very simple practices and methods, the ideal conditions of habitation can be produced even in conditions of strong winds with a long duration just as in the place where this study is placed.
The location where this work takes place is the area "Faros Armenistis" located in the north-northeast part of the island of Mykonos. Further north of this point there is no other island (or more generally some physical barrier) which makes the winds reach this point unabated.
The study starts at the site. Two small hills, aligned vertically in the direction of the wind, are the first and main element of protection from the air. Our complex is placed among these natural tumors, uses them against the weather. Turns them into windbreakers.
In the same way, just as the two hills, located on either side of the complex, so a series of stone walls, vertical to the wind, enclose the buildings. Artificial this time.
