How can you design an adolescent tutorial space? The building that hosts the tutorial institute is in Ano Patisia – a neighbourhood that used to be a countryside area for the late 19th century and nowadays preserves a considerable amount of old, urban, detached houses with a garden. In general, the layout of the 30’s, four floor building was quite compatible with the needs and specifications of the tutorial institute.
However, the most radical alteration (intervention) was the dismantling of the central staircase to meet the government’s requirements.
On the ground floor, the uses were defined by horizontal, coloured areas – yellow signifies the waiting area, purple denotes the reception one and pale green stands for the administration office and classrooms. In the upper floor plans, the use of colour expands on the elaborated gypsum ceilings.
