This project concerns a new office building in Technopolis Thessaloniki, a rapidly developing area for high technology businesses, research, and education. The building is arranged across a ground floor, three upper levels, and two basement floors, with a total area of 1,500 sqm. It accommodates enclosed and open workspaces, meeting rooms, and collaborative areas. The main design objective is to create a contemporary, flexible, and sustainable working environment that supports both functionality and social interaction.

The ground floor hosts the reception area, restaurant, and shared spaces. The three upper floors contain the main work areas, combining private offices, open plan layouts, meeting rooms, and supporting functions. Part of the ground floor and first floor can also accommodate a second company within the building. The two basement levels are dedicated to parking and auxiliary uses.

The architectural concept is based on two ground level volumes, a linear passage between them, and a central courtyard that together shape both the building’s organization and identity. Strong geometric lines, articulated façades, balconies, and a planted roof form a dynamic yet balanced composition, giving the building a distinctive presence and a clear bioclimatic logic.

A central aspect of the design is its bioclimatic approach, which integrates passive strategies for natural lighting, ventilation, and thermal comfort. The courtyard acts as a vertical channel for light and air, while the linear ground floor passage, conceived as a small internal plaza, enhances both the microclimate and the social life of the building. Larger openings along the north south axis, fixed shading devices, the planted roof, and solar panels all contribute significantly to the building’s overall energy performance.

The façades are defined by prismatic openings of different sizes, carefully positioned according to orientation and the optimal use of daylight. Natural colour tones, textured surfaces, and the restrained use of perforated elements create a contemporary and understated architectural expression. Inside, soft tones, natural materials, and textile surfaces shape a human centred environment that brings together a technological identity with a sense of comfort and wellbeing.
