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. |
