Helikon Shipping Offices

In het centrum van de badplaats Glyfada bevindt zich het hoofdkantoor van Helikon Shipping, een rederij met een rijk erfgoed sinds 1961. Vandaag de dag is Helikon een low profile bedrijf, van hoge kwaliteit, professioneel en cultureel verbonden met Japan. In totaal werken er 25 mensen op het hoofdkantoor. Daarom werd Urban Soul Project gevraagd om een ruimte te ontwerpen met een Japanse inslag en een subtiel kleurgebruik. Het resultaat is een eigentijdse ontwerpbenadering van het kantoor met een duidelijke ontwerptaal, die niettemin de integratie van elementen uit het verleden van Helikon en de culturele en professionele relatie met Japan voorziet.

ERGON Bakehouse

Ergon Bakkerij: Wonen in een bakkerij Een plek om gebak te maken en te bakken, een winkelruimte, een eethuis en uiteindelijk een hotel, allemaal in het hart van Athene. Ergon Bakehouse is een horecaproject, verenigd door de verleidelijke geur en kleuren van deeg - een semiotisch symbool van zorg. Van de ingang tot de kamers draait het ontwerp van het Urban Soul Project om de levenscyclus van het deeg en de sfeer van een traditionele bakkerij. Ergon Bakehouse is een veelzijdige culinaire en horecabestemming die de kunst van het bakken viert. Het is gelegen in het historische centrum van Athene in de buurt van het Syntagmaplein, in een monumentaal pand ontworpen door architect Vassilis Tsagris in het begin van de 20e eeuw.

Belleview Apartment

The Belleview apartment is located in a typical 1960s multistorey building on Thessaloniki’s seafront. Its original design exhibited the era’s architectural characteristics: narrow corridors, continuous constricted balconies, and small balcony doors, lacking comfort and a connection to the environment.  Kim Powell Photography Kim Powell Photography The new apartment was tailored for a young family seeking a closer link with the coastal surroundings, aiming to evoke a sun-white washed effect within the living space and to challenge the traditional arrangement of the 1960s.

Technopolis auditorium

Design and construction supervision by architect Ioulietta Zindrou The design of the Auditorium is based on the conception of the space as a complex, though elegant “acoustic device”.  We crafted the space into a dynamic field through design innovations, technological applications and material processes in construction and management, towards an optimal passive acoustic space performance  Through advanced design, sound calculus and construction technology, algorithmic and material processes, a ceaseless dynamism between sculpturing and engineering emerged.  Caption Conceptually the auditorium was conceived as a place of creation and offer of cultural experiences, and is inextricably linked to visually rec...

Full Moon / Hotel complex in Zakynthos Island

Inspiration for the concept of the hotel came from the famous painting Full Moon by the artist Yannis Moralis. The painting is a superb example of advanced geometric abstraction, distinguished by solid compositional structure, purity of form, harmonious proportions and dynamic rhythm of flowing curvilinear themes and interlocking patterns. Both the geometric shapes of the composition and the colour palette of the painting were used in the design of the hotel. iraisynn attinom studio iraisynn attinom studio iraisynn attinom studio Yannis Moralis was a multifaceted art figure who was received many distinctions in Greece and abroad.

neo hut / Hotel complex in an olive garden

In the last century, during the summer time, crossing the plains and the seashore of the island of Zakynthos, one encountered different variations of an interesting ephemeral architectural form, the primitive stilt hut. This construction primarily functioned as an observation unit during agricultural work, and later as a pleasant and cool place for the residents to stay during the summer. Basic elements of the architectural composition are found in these constructions, such as the grid, the overlapping placement of similar elements, the openings towards north and east, the placement of the volume on piles for enhancing the cooling of the construction with the aim of the local winds etc. These principles influenced us for the design of the t...

Hospitality complex in Ancient Corinth

The plot is located near the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth, where prehistoric, Hellenistic and Roman findings have been discovered. In the Northwest the plot is facing the sea (Corinthian gulf) and in the South, the Acrocorinth, a rocky cliff 575 meters high where the castle of Ancient Corinth (700 BC) is located. The area has also been designated as a protected ecosystem, due to the bushy Mediterranean vegetation and fauna.  Caption   On that 2200 sqm plot, a hotel of 1000 sqm is going to be built. The main objectives of the design are the protection from the northwest winds, the view towards Acrocorinth, as well as the accomplishment of privacy among the residents.

KOIA RESORT

In an untouched natural landscape with steep slopes and rich relief, characterized by two distinct hills, we have been asked to elaborate the concept and to design a 100-bed boutique hotel. We decided to create a complex of suites with privacy, in a relaxing environment, without disturbing the essential beauty and tranquility of the pristine Mediterranean landscape. We came up with the idea of a castle settlement, with low-rise buildings and integration into the environment as best as possible. Our inspiration was the castle of Kos, the island “chora”, the drystones “xerolithia”, the Greek country and the tradition of the healing herbs of Hippocrates. The typology of the rooms resulted from our deep knowledge of the... Meer

Bespoke Petrol Station

The Journey The wild scenery of Attica, with its rocky hills and olive trees, on the way to the busy port of Lavrio, is the site of this " bespoke" Shell petrol station. Rejecting  the pre- fabricated images of Shell petrol stations chains, that are brought directly to a site, while ignoring its characteristics, was the original source of the idea for a custom-made space that allows the User to be an active participant with the surrounding nature. The building was conceived in such a way that time, porosity, movement, transparency and materiality were the starting points for spatial exploration. Time The journey engages time: a quick time of simple petrol filling, an intermediate that allows for using shower, shop and toilet facilit... Meer

Cocoon Villas, Crete

* Within the boundaries of a purely tourist settlement on the northern coast of Crete, the refurbishment of a group of 4 incomplete residences, without existing landforms, and their conversion into a complex of luxury holiday villas, led to contemporary architectural approaches in a seemingly unaltered shell, by re-developing the dialogue with the landscape at varying scales.The natural terrain, among olive trees and in sparse or no vegetation, is uphill from the road level, with a rapid incline in its middle and milder at the top, where the residences are located.Due to the limited ability of intervention in the building shells, elements that have the character of "mantle" are used, contributing to the reformation of the volume o...
