11 SOULS • ATHENS • RETAIL
Athens, Greece
PROJECT OVERVIEW
▪️ Location: Athens
▪️ Property Type: 11 Souls Store / Retail
▪️ Size: 18m²
▪️ Design / Construction: 2006
The retail shop «eleven
souls» is situated in the commercial centre of Athens. The character or the region, that has
been recently transformed and improved due to new and older, yet renovated
shopping centres and multistores, along with the creative attitude of the
owner, determined the design of this small space.
The shop, with surface of
just 19,00 m2,
and height of 4,40 m.,
is angular facing a narrow but busy street and the building’s internal gallery.
The increased vehicle and people traffic during day and night made it necessary
to modify both facades to windows. Using two sides of this little store for
exhibition, led to the creation of a single fluid form that covers the third
side and creates a new roof. A
construction of 52 slices, whose dimensions change, is designed to create
slight, imaginable moves, to redefine the austere boundaries between the walls
and the ceiling, while in the same time it transforms the interior’s
dimensions. The synthesis is being completed through a reflection game by
covering the fourth side of the store - facing the street - with black glass
panels, that offer to the visitor an alternative vision of the space by
distance. In the same way, the long cantilevered counter that is situated in
the middle of the store, is covered with similar black glass panels reflecting
the shelves and roof.
The aim of the lighting
study was to emphasize initially on the fluid form, in order to provoke the
interest of the people passing by the store and in the same time to promote the
objects that are demonstrated in the windows.
