Serrated Transparency
The office building is located in Ellinikon with unobstructed sea views. The building outline introduces a trapeze, which expands over the site and addresses the prominent corner. The space is perceived as a field of forces where the delineated space is contested by the striated organization of the facade, navigated by the views towards the sea, the orientation of the sun, resulting in a subtle expression of the complex dynamics between them. The concept investigates the smooth and the striated in a broader field, with the varying degrees of transparency implied by the jagged main facade.
