A brutalist concrete office project in Athens, Greece, designed by local architecture firm Georges Batzios Architects. The architects brought the office back to life by repairing the damaged concrete shell and reconfiguring the internal structure. The building was built in a pine forest in the 1970s by renowned Greek architect Alexandros Tombazis. "The current owner expressed her respect for the building as a historical image of the city, in contrast to the surrounding pine forest," explained Georges Batzios, founder of the studio.

The repair of the exterior was carried out in two phases, beginning with an examination and repair of any damage to the reinforced concrete structure.Next, the studio removed the yellow paint and repaired its heavily damaged surfaces. This involved chemically analysing the original concrete surfaces to develop a matching "cement-based skin".

Inside, the most significant alteration was the redesign of the office's entrance area to create a dramatic lobby and walkway that is flanked by marble-clad walls and pools of water.The studio also opened up the existing office spaces, expanded an existing events space to create a multi-functional venue, and raised the floors to hide mechanical equipment and maximise exposure of the building's structure.

Large marble slabs line the new entrance area to help bring out the brutalist qualities of the structure by offering a reflective, contrasting earthy finish.Marble decor can also be found in other communal areas, such as on a statement staircase that spirals through the office's centre.Outside, a pool of water sits at the heart of the building between glass-lined seating areas.
