Normless transforms traditional Afytos house into minimalist hospitality retreat

Exterior view of the renovated stone building blending with the traditional architecture of Afytos.

In the heart of Afytos, Halkidiki, Normless has transformed a traditional residence into six luxury hospitality apartments that balance heritage and modernity. The project respects the architectural codes of the preserved settlement, maintaining the textured stone façades and wooden details that define the village’s character. Inside, Normless introduces a sense of fluidity through soft curves and organic partitions that guide movement and light, creating spaces that feel calm and continuous. Travertino-style marble floors and bespoke oak veneer constructions add warmth and material depth, while metal details on headboards and hanging rails bring a precise, contemporary contrast. Bathrooms feature custom sinks crafted from dark porous stone, expressing minimalism through the raw beauty of natural materials. The result is a refined composition where tradition, craftsmanship, and understated luxury coexist in harmony.
