The Travel Project is a visual anthology of independent hotels, shaped by authorship and a deep sense of place.
Perfectly aligning with the story of Dexamenes, their first documentary visits the industrial relic reimagined into a hotel, tracing its journey as it deepens its roots in the local context and sparks meaningful conversations that extend beyond the confines of conventional hospitality.

Athens Kallithea FC, K-Studio and Arup have teamed up for a collaborative regeneration of the historic “El Paso” stadium, reimagining it as an open and inclusive civic ground for sport, culture and everyday life.
Building on the stadium’s strong identity and deep community roots, and the club’s ambition for sporting progression within a values-led framework, the proposal preserves the character of the existing structure while upgrading and expanding its facilities, capacity, and spatial performance.
Rather than introducing a radical transformation, the intervention amplifies and refines the site’s existing layers of public life, strengthening its connection to the neighbourhood and extending its role within the daily life of Kallithea.
At its core, the project positions the stadium as a continuously active civic landscape, deeply rooted in its community and gently evolved for a broader urban future.

We are thrilled to join Alcova Talks at Milan Design Week 2026, curated by Design Hotels under the theme “Designed to Stay”, a series of conversations at the Baggio Military Hospital as part of Alcova’s wider cultural platform.
During the session “Designed to Evolve: From Concept to Experience”, Dimitris Karampatakis will share the stage with our friends, Nikos Karaflos –Dexamenes Seaside Hotel, Stratis Batayas –Manna, and Josh Hickey –Hydra Book Club, to explore how hospitality spaces move from architectural intent into lived experience.
Join us as we reflect on hospitality as a continuous, collaborative process between design and operation, where hotels become living systems shaped over time by landscape, people, and use.

Stirring away from conventional hospitality programs, Dexamenes presents “Traditional, Illegal”, a series of events exploring culinary gestures, knowledge, and practices that have quietly fallen out of use, or even become forbidden.
Through immersive experiences, moments where cooking and communal rituals become acts of cultural preservation, memory, and resistance are brought to life. Kitchens, courtyards, and repurposed spaces transform into stages for ancestral practices, where fire is reclaimed, bread is broken, and the past is lived anew – challenging notions of legality while celebrating care, continuity, and a profound sense of place.
