ATHENS, GR
2026

Located at the intersection of Poseidonos and Alimou Avenue, an existing four-storey structure has occupied a prominent corner for more than three decades. It’s a key point along one of Athens’ most visible coastal corridors, between the city and the emerging public landscape of the Ellinikon Metropolitan Park. Within this dynamic setting, the building emerges as a potential landmark, linking the dense urban fabric behind it with the coastal landscape in front.
The concept of the building as a visible urban object, while also operating as an office building serving daily needs, sets the design process on a dual focus. Firstly, The design reconfigures the existing structure through selective massing processes. A new continuous outline is drawn around the reorganized volume, transforming fragmented geometries into a coherent architectural form. This outline becomes the generative tool for the building’s renewed expression, introducing a fluid geometry and a continuous second skin: a light, transparent glass system.

Conceived as a ventilated double-skin façade, it operates not as a superficial treatment but as an architectural strategy that consolidates form and enhances environmental performance. Acting as a buffer, it filters solar radiation, improves thermal comfort, and modulates light and views through subtle panel rotations, while its reflectivity engages the coastal light.
Parallelly, a network of shared spaces—courtyard, roof terrace, balconies—is proposed to support the building’s social life. As extensions of the office environment, they encourage pause, informal meetings, and events, amplifying the building’s urban presence and reinforcing its role within the evolving Athenian waterfront.
