The Arts’ Spot HOUSE OF THE ARTISTIC GROUPS. Open invitation for investors, government agencies, Institutes of arts... THIS PROJECT IS FOR SALE This project was originally designed as the master thesis, in NTUA, and now is developed for sale for the interested market. The purpose of the thesis was to gather and house the NTUA students’ artistic activities in one place, at the University Campus of Zografou, the “Arts’ Spot”. The architectural program includes, besides the workshops, an electronic library of arts, an auditorium with capacity of 400 seats, and finally meeting places, which connect all above uses. The area of study is the green space, near the central square, which is located at the convergence of two central paths, to and from the square. The two paths are refracted and penetrate the area, by marking a new alternative route – esplanade. Obtuse tracings create the design grid. The square of the “Arts’ Spot” is planned with reference to the Auditorium – Landmark. The remaining functions are housed in the introvert building volume, surrounding the square. The ground floor gathers uses relevant to the
visitors (“public”). The first floor is exclusively referred to the artistic groups (“private”). The double height meeting places, connect the “private” and the “public”. The green roofs are designed to bridge the 10 meters difference in height. Thus, the pedestrian zone is lifted to become the roof,

In Conclusion After 14 years of experience in the fields of architectural design, detailed - construction design, Building Envelope & Facade design, 3D Detailing for construction, etc, we are here to change the future. RS Architecture + Design Studio aims to build architecture that is climatically and contextually relevant. The studio’s design philosophy is to create a dialogue of pure functional forms that are exaggerated by the use of individual materials. This interesting co-existence and conversation of various materials is utilized in all projects to create responsive and responsible architecture. All design projects sit as examples of the forward-looking modern and multitraditional contemporary aesthetic, both in materiality and functionality. RS Architecture + Design Studio therefore, stands for a young, mad and fun approach to spatiality, that employs a play of light, volumes and materials.
