Building with Earth

We were invited by Damask and Piliko to explore the potential of building with rammed earth in a hands-on workshop.

Shaped from widely accessible raw materials, the process brought us closer to an ancient technique – one defined by its mass, tactility, and quiet environmental intelligence.

A new layer for Dexamenes

Quiet reinvention has become part of the essence of Dexamenes, as the hotel evolves in modest gestures — extending itself layer by layer, season by season.

Delicately sprouting from its robust concrete base, a new chapter in accommodation unfolds with an immediate connection to the horizon. Eight new rooms are nestled within a lightweight canopy that hovers above the solid tanks, tracing the line of the building without overwhelming it. Slender components dematerialize the presence of the new level, honoring the original ethos while offering a fresh perspective — and a quiet sense of uplift.

Explore the story of continuation of Dexamenes on designboom.
