The office building in Nea Kifisia, near the National Road Athens - Lamia, presents a unique challenge due to its strong industrial character and a pre-existing incomplete building. The new design aims to transform the existing load-bearing structure while meeting the expanded need for office space.

A key design goal involves creating a method to transform and add surfaces to the existing building. This approach ensures a unified image and identity with a hyper-local character while meeting modern office space needs.

The design introduces new office spaces as building units or "boxes" added to the existing structure. These units extend existing floors or add new ones, completing the structure and creating a new building typology. Each floor is distinct and independent, either "set back" or "projecting," fostering an "office neighborhood" rather than a traditional office complex. This modular approach allows flexibility and scalability to meet evolving business needs.

Open spaces on the upper levels enhance this new typology. An atrium on the second and third floors forms the centerpiece, starting from the second-floor interior and leading to the planted area on the third floor and the roof. The roof, the building's highest point, offers unobstructed views of Parnitha. This design creates continuous indoor-outdoor spaces, unifying the building's levels. It acts as a transition hub from "closed" to "open," fostering socialization, cooperation, and contact with nature in an industrial area. Additionally, these open spaces encourage interaction among employees, promoting a vibrant and collaborative work environment.

The office building in Nea Kifisia demonstrates how innovative design can transform an incomplete structure into a modern, functional workspace. By integrating new office units and open spaces, the design addresses the evolving needs of businesses while creating a unique identity in an industrial setting.
