Art Gallery remodelling
Thessaloniki, Greece
Nitra Gallery, Thessaloniki
Housed within a neoclassical building in Thessaloniki’s upper city center, Nitra Gallery occupies a site rich in architectural and cultural heritage, just steps from the ancient Roman Forum. The neighborhood, known for its interwar architecture, has evolved into a vibrant hub for the local artistic community, making it an ideal setting for the gallery.
The building, completed in 1926 and restored in 2006, features a narrow ground-floor section with two large openings that flood the interior with natural light and offer glimpses of the artwork from the street. The façade remains deliberately minimal, with only the gallery’s name discreetly displayed on glass beside the entrance.
Spatial Organization
The floor plan is divided into four nearly equal zones. Entering from the main door, the reception and office occupy the right side, directly across from the entrance. Behind them are the storage room and washroom, while the left side is dedicated entirely to exhibition space. At the rear, a projection room supports video installations, and a hidden storage recess behind three doors maintains a clean backdrop.
All secondary functions are concentrated along one side, unified by warm plywood paneling that contrasts with the white exhibition walls. The office is open on both sides, ensuring fluid circulation and visual connection with the gallery. Custom cabinetry accommodates storage and archiving, with workstations integrated seamlessly into the layout. The first workstation doubles as a reception desk, reinforcing openness.
Lighting Design
Lighting combines central in-ceiling fixtures for general illumination with LED spotlights on ceiling rails for focused artwork display. This layered approach ensures consistent brightness throughout the space and adaptability for diverse exhibitions, supporting the gallery’s curatorial needs while enhancing its minimal, refined aesthetic.
