Concept, Design

Complex building including administration area, storage and logistics with parking and maneuvering area for long vehicles, as a collaborator of S.Tsergas architectural office. The company’s headquarters, which are built on the outskirts of Athens in the suburban industrial Markopoulo area, also include reception lobby, presentation auditorium and lunch area. Synthetically, it is all about 3 buildings / prisms with clear geometrical arrangements, placed in different relation to the ground: one is submerged, the other is resting and the third hovers over it. Under that scope, the storage- logistics volume uses the natural slope to hide underneath it, while its spacious roof is a green garden planted with various Mediterranean flora species. The second prism houses the lobby, auditorium and lunch areas and is built on the ground directly opposite the main entrance to the plot. Finally, the administration and offices prism floats like a pure geometric crystal above the other two. A central atrium pierces all three elements both uniting them and bringing to the deepest levels natural light and air. As we prefer to practice, Architectural Design and Energy Design match.
