Developed by Thanos Zakopoulos and Katia Meneghini, the studio draws a conceptual thread between this architectural project and Zakopoulos\u2019 recent art installation at the same resort, which used charred pine as a metaphor for destruction and rebirth (find designboom\u2019s previous coverage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/thanos-zakopoulos-charred-pine-fiery-symbol-rebirth-greek-ekies-senses-resort-05-15-2025\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>). In Bubo, komorebi becomes the conceptual guide that shapes an atmosphere where light, structure, and texture create the feeling of walking through a forest. The interior draws from the rhythms and systems of the surrounding pines, inviting guests to feel part of it.<\/p>\n<p>images courtesy of CTRLZAK<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">tree-like columns support perforated metal ceiling<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrlzak.com\/\"><strong>Italian-Greek studio<\/strong><\/a> CTRLZAK interprets komorebi as a metaphor for ecological connection and the subtle rhythms of the natural world, sunlight, water, air, and matter in constant exchange. In the dining space of Bubo, angled columns rise like tree trunks, supporting a canopy of perforated metal ceiling panels that hide lighting and ventilation behind a pattern reminiscent of vascular tissue in pine needles. Working with Reflect Lights, CTRLZAK creates a play of light and shadow that recalls walking through a forest, where sunlight breaks through the foliage in quiet moments of clarity and wonder.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bespoke furniture, dining tables, sofas, dividers, and curtains, is part of the forest narrative. Materials drawn from the local landscape, such as earthy plasters and Greek marble, further ground the restaurant in its context. The stone flooring features a subtle gradient of two regional marbles, which dissolve into one another as the space opens toward the beach.<\/p>\n<p>CTRLZAK design studio unveils Bubo, a restaurant inspired by komorebi<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">water installation reflects mountain-to-sea flow<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That same attention to elemental transitions is visible in the bathroom, which is envisioned as a cave-like retreat. Designed as a kind of contemporary sanctuary, it channels the idea of water emerging from the mountain. A spring-like installation releases water through the stone wall and out into an exterior fountain, reimagining the mountain-to-sea flow in architectural form. Nearby, a mural and custom-made outdoor furniture evoke geological stratification, exploring the ongoing transformation of the terrain and the layered histories embedded in it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CTRLZAK\u2019s design celebrates the unseen dimensions of the natural world, from cellular structures to ancient stone, reminding us of our place within an interconnected whole.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>angled columns rise like tree trunks<\/p>\n<p>bespoke furniture is part of the forest narrative<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a pattern reminiscent of vascular tissue in pine needles<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>earthy plasters and Greek marble further ground the restaurant in its context<\/p>\n<p>a spring-like installation releases water through the stone wall<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>reimagining the mountain-to-sea flow in architectural form<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>a mural and custom-made outdoor furniture evoke geological stratification<\/p>\n<p>the stone flooring features two regional marbles<\/p>\n<p>CTRLZAK creates a play of light and shadow that recalls walking through a forest<\/p>\n<p>perforated metal ceiling panels hide lighting and ventilation<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name: <\/strong>Bubo Restaurant<br \/>\n<strong>architect: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ctrlzak.com\/\">CTRLZAK<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ctrlzak\/\">@ctrlzak<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>location: <\/strong>Ekies All Senses Resort | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ekiesresort\/\">@ekiesresort<\/a>, Chalkidiki, Greece<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/ctrlzak-filtered-forest-light-pine-inspired-restaurant-ekies-resort-greece-07-10-2025\/\">CTRLZAK channels filtered forest light in pine-inspired restaurant at ekies resort, greece<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CTRLZAK completes Bubo restaurant in greece\u2019s ekies resort \u00a0 At the Ekies All Senses Resort in northern Greece, CTRLZAK design studio unveils Bubo, a restaurant inspired by komorebi, the poetic Japanese term for sunlight filtering &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
