Α vibrant and full of architectural details urban hotel at the heart of Piraeus, reflecting the tectonic traditions of the area.
The hotel stretches on two buildings which occupy the entire south side of a city block in the Hagios Dionyssios area. One building is a renovated and structurally reinforced former warehouse building, while the larger of the two is a newly built building. The total of the 58 hotel rooms are arranged on all 7 floors of the superstructure, and the MEP facilities are located in the basement of the joint hotel as well as on the rooftops.
The hotel is designed as a low budget design city hotel, to accommodate young clients, mostly business professionals from the area. The two building volumes eco one another from the two corners of the city block, with a central interconnecting external corridor, clad in green glass. The rooms have a discrete design, and differentiate in colour from floor to floor, while the materiality of the common spaces has intense references to the industrial character of the area.
A challenging project, with extremely complicated and painstaking permitting procedures, with equally demanding detailing, that was finished meeting a very tight time schedule and within budget, despite all the difficulties created by the Pandemic.
