The entrance is redefined using elements of the Greek landscape, reinforcing a connection to nature and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Stone-like poufs, quartz sand, wooden textures, and lighting reminiscent of the Greek light compose an immersive arrival experience.
The reception area is expanded, with glass partitions symbolizing transparency and purity, while maximizing natural light penetration. The kitchen, storage room, and bathrooms are reconfigured for flexibility, ensuring efficient circulation and accessibility. The server room is relocated to the basement, allowing the existing meeting room to merge with the remaining space, forming a versatile, multipurpose zone. Acoustic panels in the workspace enhance both sound absorption and aesthetic refinement, crafted from recycled and sustainable materials.
Continuing the theme of hybrid functionality, a mini basketball court is positioned at the heart of the first floor, next to the staircase. This feature, along with the touchdown room and fitness area, creates a buffer zone that minimizes noise while promoting movement and well-being.
The relocation of the server room frees up space for expanding work areas and introducing flexible design elements. Throughout the floor, private offices, phone booths, lockers, stand-up desks, and relaxation areas near the openings provide diverse work settings. A dedicated gym and active workstations further support an ergonomic and health-conscious work environment.
The hybrid workspace model extends to the second floor, where expanded work areas integrate well-being and sustainability-focused features. A wellness center, coffee dock, and kitchen promote a balanced work-life approach. Additional phone booths, stand-up desks, and breakout spaces encourage mobility and spontaneous collaboration.
Key sustainable elements include:
- Passive design strategies, such as maximized natural ventilation and daylighting to reduce energy consumption.
- Energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems to optimize comfort while minimizing environmental impact.
- Locally sourced and eco-friendly materials for finishes and furnishings.
- Indoor greenery and living walls to enhance air quality and create a connection to nature.
