This project introduces the reuse of the old oil mill of Elefsina into a business cooperation center (Coworking Space).
In the post-industrial era we first have deindustrialisation, ie a reduction of industry and secondly there is an increase in demand for services. For this reason, many new comp a n i e s a r e c r e a t e d t h a t o ff e r s e r v i c e s , i n c l u d i n g s t a r t - u p s .
The study area, Elefsina, is a typical case of a deindustrialized c i t y. I t u s e d t o b e t h e c e n t e r o f m a n y b u s i n e s s e s t h a t l a t e r c l o s e d .
Under these circumstances, the creation of a coworking space would encourage the new economy and the creation of start-ups which will contribute to the prosperity and economy of the region. 4

In this area the beams have been kept exactly as they were in their current condition so that they can be used as a gri d in order to create lofts that the administrat or offices will be “placed” on. The lofts create a game of different levels characterized by transparency and plenty of natural light.

A RT S WO RKS HO P Despite the additions, the buildings have an authentic historical industrial character such as the ruins, the mixing of stone structures, concrete, wood en trusses and metal win dows, which I tried to preserve and to highlight. Here, skylights in the shape of pyramids have been incorporated in order to prevent the direct sun light to penetrate the room but instead create a functional art workshop.

dents and specialists in the field of fauna and flora since such industries have closed and continue to a lesser extent in this area. It is a summer destination that will allow the user to combine work, learning and rest. The main idea was based on the shape and structure of the tree leaves. We implemented it by capturing it in our design externally through paths that connect the spaces of the installation and the placement o f t w o g r e e n h o u s e s .

This is one of my accepted artworks in an art gallery in Athens. My idea was to create a painting that shows the fear and anxiety of a person who is about to enter adulthood. For this exact reason, I have merely made the eyes entirely realisticaly in order to capture the expresion of the girl. The melted roses define the end of youthfulness. 37
