Green Path Renovation

In the Athenian suburb of Glyfada, architects transformed a neglected 97 m² residential space in a Seventies-era building into a contemporary law office. A thorough study of context, materiality, and color preceded the conversion, resulting in a functional and stimulating workplace environment.

The experience of afternoon natural light filtering through a lush wisteria plant, casting mesmerizing shadows on the existing dilapidated floor, became an inspiration for embracing a biophilic approach. This led to the transformation of a once-abandoned air shaft and front terrace areas into green oases that envelop the working spaces, improving natural light conditions, ventilation, and the application of materials that echo nature.

Enthusiastic collaboration between the architect, client, and craftsmen made the challenge easier to overcome, transforming a compact residential space into an office that meets functional and technical demands while maintaining a human-centered workspace enriched by natural light and greenery.
