Certh 2.0 Subproject I Thess Intec, Thessaloniki Innovation And Technology Centre, Greece
The project is about the design of a complex of office and laboratory buildings with the name “THESS_INTEC” of the National Center for Research and Technological Development (CERTH). The new building CERTH with a capacity of 600-650 employees and 70-90 visitors is located in the new fourth generation technology park on a plot next to the Municipal Community of Perea of the Municipality of Thermaikos and near “Macedonia” airport of Thessaloniki.
The building complex is developed on multiple levels starting from the ground floor where the most basic horizontal movement is located. The starting point is defined by the disintegration of the different uses and functions in four volumes and connecting them through a transverse axis of motion. The uses on the ground floor are distributed and the relations between them are the operation of each building and the program of each Institute. The facades of the buildings are covered with passive shading systems, vertical and horizontal blinds, but also external transparent shells (curtain walls) that complete the function of the buildings, keeping the transparent element on the facades.
In conclusion, the building complex is governed by a special dynamic, it is characterized by pure geometric volumes which create a strong and prismatic casing. The lowest and horizontally spread volumes of the ground floor, create a strong base and are crowned with higher and more radiant volumes of floors that seem to float, while at the same time this ratio intensifies the oncoplastic interest and dynamics of the buildings.
Our preliminary design proposes a set of workshops and offices that through its modern design and attention to detail, will not only try to follow an aesthetically and functionally modern architecture, but at the same will be a part of shaping the new research and scientific map of the country in the new decade of innovation that is being inaugurated.
The building complex OFFICETWENTYFIVEARCHITECTS designed is simple, almost Doric and recognizable through absence of decorative or other ornamental elements.

This project refers to the design of a ground floor private residence with surrounding fencing, in the farm area of Epanomi (municipality of Thermaikos) which has a total area of 11557.50 sq.m. The ground floor house has been designed and developed based on the topographical details of the area . The building has visual engravings on the southwest, its entrance is located on the northeast and evolves around a outdoor living room. More specifically, the exterior seating area consists of a semi-outdoor area with a pergola, which includes the entrance to the house.
The main living spaces are located in the northwest part of the property. There is the kitchen with the dining room and the living room, as well as two bedrooms and a laundry space. To the southeast there are three guest bedrooms, one with a private bathroom and two with a shared one.
The external staircase located on the main patio leads to an outdoor seating area, which is designed on the roof, with a pergola. On the exterior space of the building one more pergola creates a shading system that serves the outdoor parking space. The outdoor space also hosts a hot tub, in connection to the master bedroom.
The central and connecting element of the composition is the atrium, from which there is access to the all the interior spaces. The design offers privacy where it is needed with large openings to the surrounding view.
