The new premises of EDENRED are housed in the renovated IXI office building, in accordance with the LEED environmental certification standards in Athens, Greece. The workplace has a square-free plan, with a sparse grid of circular columns, of great height and characteristic linear openings around the perimeter. The influences of the existing shell in modernist architecture, with clear geometries, free-sightedness and linearity, were used in the design of the interior. The architectural approach aimed at the location of the main working areas around the perimeter on a raised floor that allows users to have an open view of the outside.
In the center of the floor, all the cooperative spaces of the company are gathered in a polymorphic pavilion. KN Group selected high-quality and environmentally friendly materials, redesigned reusing elements of the existing building in accordance with the principles of circular economy and equipped the space with high-performance technologies.
