Project Overview

Costa Navarino represents the pinnacle of sustainable luxury hospitality in the Mediterranean. Our engineering team delivered the complete MEP design for this award-winning development, which has set new standards for environmental responsibility in the tourism sector.

The project encompasses two distinct hotels - The Westin and The Romanos - along with extensive leisure facilities, spa complexes, and support infrastructure.

Sustainable Design Philosophy

Energy Systems

  • Geothermal heating and cooling serving 80% of thermal loads
  • 2 MW solar PV installation on service buildings
  • Solar thermal collectors providing 70% of hot water demand
  • Advanced building management system optimizing real-time performance

Water Conservation

The resort operates as a near-zero discharge facility:

  • On-site wastewater treatment and recycling
  • Desalination plant with energy recovery
  • Smart irrigation reducing landscape water use by 60%
  • Rainwater harvesting from all roof surfaces

Technical Highlights

Spa & Wellness Complex

The 4,000 m² Anazoe Spa features:

  • Thalassotherapy pools with temperature-controlled seawater
  • Traditional hammam with authentic heating systems
  • Indoor/outdoor treatment rooms with climate control
  • Sophisticated air quality management

Culinary Facilities

We designed MEP systems for 12 restaurants and bars including:

  • Central production kitchen with island cooking suites
  • Specialized ventilation with heat recovery
  • Cold storage complex with CO2 refrigeration
  • Pool bars with underwater viewing areas

Golf Course Facilities

Supporting two Signature golf courses:

  • Irrigation pump stations with variable frequency drives
  • Maintenance facility with vehicle charging
  • Clubhouse climate control systems

Recognition

The project has received multiple awards including:

  • BREEAM Excellent certification
  • European Hotel Design Award
  • Greek Green Building Council recognition

Challenges & Solutions

Water Resource Management

The arid Mediterranean climate required innovative water conservation strategies.

Solution

Designed comprehensive water recycling system including greywater treatment and desalination plant.

Integration with Natural Landscape

The resort needed to blend with the sensitive coastal environment.

Solution

Created underground service corridors and concealed MEP systems within landscape features.

Peak Load Management

Seasonal tourism creates extreme variations in utility demand.

Solution

Implemented thermal storage systems and variable capacity equipment to optimize efficiency.
