Interior Design of GEK Group Headquarters, Athens
Interior Design of GEK Group Headquarters, Athens by Hopkins Architects. A Greek construction company wanted a new headquarters to exemplify their high standard of construction. The rhomboid shaped site, on a busy avenue, lay between two diagonal roads. The office accommodation is arranged in two wings on either side of an open central courtyard where the environmental conditions are easier to control than on the busy surrounding streets. Open windows and walkways connect the two wings.

The Courtyard Space
The whole courtyard space is a tempered environment, which is shaded in the summer and protected from the cold winds in winter. The staff restaurant is positioned on a overlooking mezzanine level. The circulation and service cores are at the narrow end of the site.

Material Design
A controlled palette of carefully crafted components and materials – stainless steel, concrete and timber was used. The only “luxury” material was the use of white Greek marble to the floor of the central courtyard atrium, to contrast with the exposed timber shuttered concrete surfaces elsewhere in the building.
