Kaizer Serviced Apartments

Omonoia, Athens

Street View

The development inhabits a 1984 incomplete office building located in the historic centre of Athens, in contact with a listed building of 1920. Responding to the augmented city needs, the adaptive reuse of the building transforms the existing concrete skeleton into 14 serviced apartments. Smaller in volume than originally licensed, the development benefits in environmental imprint, while historical elements are maintained, not being demolished. Acknowledging the existing façade concrete canvas, a new aluminium skin consisting of 3 layers is applied, using innovative materials and construction methods. It’s intricate geometry both filters and frames views into the distance, ensuring privacy from across the street.  A unique effect created inside the units, blends with the interior design concept into a strong spatial experience.
