The project is a proposal for a hotel with capacity of 129 keys, located in the center of Athens, Greece, with views of the Acropolis. The original complex consists of 3 neoclassical buildings that create a central courtyard. It was originally a school in the late 19th Century. In 2001 it was partially demolished and converted into an 8th floor overground parking. From the original building only parts of the façade were maintained and were later listed. These facades are significant for the area, as they are some of last remaining samples of the era. The main design intents are: -The integration of the neoclassical façade in the new function of the building. -The restoration of the Neoclassical facades that will become a focal point of the building. -The conversion of the central courtyard into the social heart of the building. -The volumetric design will serve as a canvas to the neoclassical listed facades. -The clear separation of the listed and contemporary parts with the use of Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel material as cladding for the new building. This material will work well with the proposed off-white neoclassical facades. The proposal’s monolithic aesthetic is reinforced by a weathering steel mesh that covers the openings. Overall, the proposal aims to celebrate the history of the building in its different stages while being contemporary and functional. The environmental aspect is a particularly important part of this project, which is why techniques such as maintaining and reinforcing the existing structure, minimizing the glazing in the facades and ensuring natural light and ventilation.
