HOTEL 56

LOCATION: Athens, Greece

PROGRAM: conversion of an office building into a 4*hotel

AREA: 1 500 sqm

TYPE OF PROCUREMENT: commission  

YEAR: 2018

CLIENT: private

A former office building built in the early 70s seeks a new use. Its position near the Acropolis along with Athens’ growing demand in accommodation dictate its transformation into a hotel.

A total of 30 rooms, a lounge, reception and a rooftop bar that offers a panoramic view of the city find their place within the existing building’s volume. The façades are entirely reviewed in order to cater for the new use and create a balanced dialogue with the existing structure but also with the city.
