April 2023 - Reinventing Exarcheia
Ground-floor premises in Exarchia have been abandoned since the beginning of the economic crisis. However, new enterprises are now sporadically emerging and thriving in prior vacant properties. These dynamic changes may gradually impact public space revitalization in consequence of the setting up of new art, craft and cultural businesses. Willing to contribute to the anticipated urban development, we created MICROGRAFIA - a tiny office next to Strefi Hill. |

July 2022 - Conversion of an Industrial Building into Office Spaces in Athens
A highly transformative conversion design for an industrial building of the 60’s was mapped out, while merely its existing reinforced concrete structure was retained. Aiming at a sustainable perspective of the building, versatilely arrayed working areas around a central multi-use plaza have been envisaged, while international workspace standards with regard to daylight conditions and visual comfort, acoustics, thermal comfort and indoor air quality, aided by a smartly channelled underfloor air distribution system, have been considered. |

November 2021 - Integral Redesign of uninhabited spaces of a '70s building
