The 4,500 m2 mixed-use development in central Athens combines two separate logics: a street pattern of irregular urban circulation which morphs into a dense orthogonal grid of patio housing, creating optimal conditions for both housing, shops and galleries.

Morphing Geometry
The public spaces are conveniently shaded from the sun, while the residential units are protected from the noise of surrounding entertainment area. Streets become facetted gorges diffusing the intense Mediterranean sunlight. The typology reintroduces a medieval urban character in a city district dominated by single use developments from the sixties.
