Avant Blue is a four-star boutique hotel located on the seafront of Corinth, Greece. The project redefines urban coastal hospitality through a clear contemporary architectural language, combining strong horizontal lines, transparent boundaries and a sequence of multi-level outdoor spaces.

The architectural composition establishes a continuous relationship between the building, the sea, natural light and the horizon. Guest rooms, communal areas and the rooftop suites are organised as a spatial sequence of privacy, comfort and unobstructed views towards the Corinthian Gulf.

Glass, aluminium, wood, marble and stone form a refined material palette, while integrated linear lighting highlights the geometry of the building and reinforces its identity after sunset.

The ground floor lounge, bar and pool areas operate as an open and interconnected hospitality environment. Large glazed openings dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, creating a direct visual and functional connection with the waterfront.

The interior design follows the architectural concept through custom-made furniture, natural textures, concealed lighting and carefully controlled colour contrasts. The result is a contemporary boutique hotel defined by clarity, comfort and discreet luxury.
