In the Athenian suburb of Glyfada, architects transformed in the Seventies building a 97m2 neglected residential space into a contemporary Law office. A thorough contextual, materiality and color research preceded the conversion, resulting in a functional and stimulating workplace environment.
The experience of the afternoon natural light penetrating a lush wisteria plant and its mesmerizing shadows on the existing dilapidated floor became an inspiration for embracing biophilic approach herein: converting once abandoned air shaft and front terrace areas into green oases that envelope working spaces, improving conditions of natural light with ventilation and applying materials that echo nature.
Enthusiastic collaboration between the Architect, Client and Craftsmen made the challenge easy to conquer and transform a compact residential space into an office space that fulfils functional and technical demands yet maintains human character of the natural light and greenery enriched workspace.
Bio The small-scale studio aspires to transfer the founder’s personal enthusiasm for each new architectural challenge to the clients and collaborators, while inspiring them to contribute to the project in the best possible manner. During the creative process, the Architect, the Client, and the Craftsmen are fully merged from the initial design all the way to its completion. Intimate, tactile connection with a proposal is maintained throughout the procedure, simultaneously adopting a unique, multidisciplinary approach to each design brief.
