Island in the Sun

Island in the Sun

 
Designer Jasper Conran's Greek getaway, nestled in the stony foothills on the island of Rhodes, celebrates relaxation as a way of life. The compound is centered around two main structures--a brilliantly preserved 16th century dwelling Conran occupies with his partner, and a conjoined 18th century guesthouse. Both feature traditional pebble mosaic floors known as krokalia, thick, white-washed plaster walls, high vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and carved stone facades. Rustic and elemental, the space beautifully captures the island's spirit of raw simplicity.
