The project involves redesigning the entrance and reception areas of a shipping company’s existing office building on the Faliro waterfront. The entrance is subtly marked along the noisy avenue, while a lateral shift in the visitor’s path leads to a tall reception hall. Its atmosphere, light simplicity and a dominating view to the Saronic Gulf signify the establishment’s vigor and status.
