DS Bellevue

BHSF Architekten

Post: Competition Architect, 1st prize

Location: Thun, Switzerland

The project “DS Bellevue” is located in the inner-city area of the city of Thun, directly between the Riv er Aare and the rail field. The property is home to the former Swisscom building, which dates back to 1978. Concepts Development AG, as the owner, is seeking to transform the property and intends to put the former Swisscom building, which is now around 42 years old, to new uses, to renovate it in line with the times and to develop it further. The chosen concept is guided by a historical analysis of the site and its function in the urban space and recognizes the potential of the location and the urban stratification at the intersection of historical traffic axes and the relationship to both the Aare and the city center as well as to the west of Thun. With the projection of a terrace in front and a precisely placed canopy in the area of the entrance, the building itself invitingly signals that urban space is being reclaimed and revitalized here - both in front of and inside the building.

Warmbächli

BHSF Architekten

Post: Project Architect - BIM Coordinator

Location: Bern, Switzerland

Design: 2013-2017

Design team: BHSF Architekten

The transformation of the former warehouse of the Tobler Chocolate Factory is the geometrical and conceptual centre of the urban development design for the Warmbächliweg area in Berne. The fundamental decision to preserve and convert this building represents an elementary approach to save resources while creating a new identity from the existing within the urban and architectural scale.

While the general existing design of Güterstrasse 8 is mostly insignificant its large dimensions in floor space and ceiling height as well as its massive concrete structure have the potential to newly combine functions, rethink housing typologies and therefore to generate extraordinary and unique spaces.

The underground floors, lit with daylight only from the courtyard, are dedicated to various communal, cultural and commercial functions. The upper floors and the three-storey roof-top extension combine large shared and cluster apartments, small apart-

ments and maisonette types for all different ways of life of the up to 190 inhabitants. All apartments are connected to one central staircase via generous “rues intérieures” on every floor.

Diverse communal spaces like a recreation room, workshops, a sauna, “community loggias” and the large roof top terrace complete the programme and make Güterstrasse 8 a vibrant and colourful place in whose atmosphere its industrial past lives on.

Neubau Wohn- und Geschäfthaus Turuvani

Areal (3rd Prize)

fsp. Architekten AG Post: Architect

Location: Olten, Switzerland Design: 2015-2016

Design team: Grigoris Grigoriadis, Bernie Meyer, Christoph Caech

This project was a competition by fsp. Architekten AG. It won the 3rd prize. It is about an office, residential and facility seven storey building in Olten, Switzerland. The design decision focused on keeping the facades as simple as possible offering to the urban landscape of Olten a neutral addition. In contrast, the inner space was decided to offer a site specific and cosy neighbourhood to the inhabitants of the building. It was of great importance to take into account the high levels of noise because of the central area where the building is situated.

exhibition room - cellar

Callicounis Distilleries S.A.

Post: Architect in charge

Location: Kalamata, Greece

Client: Callicounis Distilleries S.A. Design: 2012

Completion year: end of 2014

GFA: 175sqm

Design team: Grigoris Grigoriadis, Maria Kallikouni

Lighting design: Grigoris Grigoriadis, Maria Kallikouni

This project refers to a study and construction of an exhibition room and cellar in an existing distillation plant. The proposal consists of a 175 s.m. area where the visitor firstly enters the showroom having the opportunity to test the numerable collection of spirits that the company produces since 1850. There can also be viewed the great collection of relics, documents and medals that the owners have carefully gathered through the years. Right after, the cellar is met. The valuable brandy is stored in sixty barrels. Walking along the corridor the light comes inside through some openings which represent the distillation history and the herbals that are used for the production. The barrels are placed in three rows where the visitor can pass through and finally come out from the exhibition room.

Rehabilitation Centre

ANAPLASI S.A., Athens, Greece

Post: architect at Pavlides Associates S.A.

Location: Athens, Greece

Client: Anaplasi S.A.

Design: 2007

The building is designed to host an exemplary center of recovery and rehabilitation for people with permanent or temporary disability. It is a four-storey building with 2 basements. It has 50 beds in total, and many supportive substructures for the rehabilitation. A large area for recreation and gathering is located in the ground floor of the building with a height of 3.20m, which is equipped and designed to help the circulation of patients in wheelchairs and visitors. A swimming pool with therapeutical use is also located on the ground floor. It is a 4.50x5.90m swimming pool designed in three levels with the level of the water higher than the finish floor level, in order to help the carriage of the handicapped patients from and into the pool, with a special lifting tackle, and also in order to help the trainers work. The building is easily reached by car from a small driveway on the entrance of the building on Ethnikis Antistaseos St. in order to accommodate the patients needs. The design of the building has considered all the needs of the disabled. The maximum inclination of all the ramps is 5% and al the hallways have 2.20m width in order to facilitate the movement and crossing of two wheelchairs. The internal circulation and the functional groups of the building are arranged in such way to dissociate the other functions of the building and to help the movement and the orientation inside of it. The building’s volume is further completed with the arrangement of the elevations elements, the materials and the variety of the openings.

diploma thesis

cruise ship’s reuse

published in ‘www.greekarchitects.gr’

year: 2011-2012 level: 5th year - 10th semester advisors: Kostis Paniyiris, Dimitris Philippitzis

The present diploma thesis explores the relationship between the city and the sea, so that the latter could contribute to the operation of the first. It is proposed an alternative construction which its aim will be to cover exceptional events of the city. Specifically, the proposal concerns the reuse and the reconstruction of an existing cruise ship to a fully equipped swimming centre that is moved from a place to place to carry out large-scale events. Finally, an attempt is made to approach the shipbuilding, a specialty eminently active in studying structures moving in water in conjunction with the architectural aspects.

initial naval blueprints

The purpose of creating the floating swimming centre is the inability of most cities to host major sport events due to lack of the necessary infrastructure. In order to avoid construction investments for the necessary sports facilities –to be scrapped later (maintenance weakness – low population to support them, etc.) is given the opportunity in every coastal city, regardless of its size and capacity to become a pole of attraction for athletes and sportsmanship for some time, resulting in the promotion. The cruise ship is rented, travels, binds to ports in order to fulfil these goals. The interventions were initiated under retention of essential morphological and functional elements of the cruise ship so as not to spoil its character. The major intervention is an open ramp that runs around the boat starting from the stern – an extension of the pier – and ends up on the bow of the vessel, the highest point in the former bridge and the current observation deck. The ramp other than main traffic medium, it is grouping functionally the vessel, separating the swimming centre (reception, swimming pools, changing rooms, fitness, bars, retail) from the hotel which hosts the athletes, their support teams and the visitors. Finally, a procedure which takes advantage a feature field of the existing ship is the placements of the grandstands. Specifically, the slot on the side of the vessel where the lifeboats were kept turns into the stands, which open and close with a suitable mechanism. During the trip are kept closed, serving the buoyancy of the cruise ship and while the ship is in port, they open for the conduct of the game.

old factories - new facilities - tobacco warehouse

published in: -2011: ‘Architectural Studies, Architectural Heritage’, 27/05/2011-25/06/2011, NTUA, Athens, Greece -2010: Conference of the Greek Department of TICCIH, 2010, Volos, Greece

year: 2009-2010 level: 4th year - 7th semester team work with: Maria Kallikouni advisors: Konstantinos Adamakis

This is about a two-storey building with basement, built in 1920 in Volos, Greece. Designed under traditional standards combined with neoclassical references and constructed of bearing stone masonry and columns, in addition with mixed construction by metal and wooden beams. The hipped roof consists of wooden trusses covered by tiles. It belongs to the industrial buildings category of this area and was used to host Greek refugees arrived from Minor Asia in 1922. Having undergone significant damage during the period of the earthquakes of 1955, it was restored and continued its function until the decade of 1960.

According to the needs of the project, the building would be transformed into a Therapy Centre for Addicted People.

The proposed transformation consists of a couple of essential interventions: firstly the vertical split of the half of the building into a three-storey and secondly the addition of a conference hall by the west side of the building.

year: 2010-2011 level: 5th year - 9th semester team work with: Maria Kallikouni, Nikol Vergini advisors: Kostis Paniyiris, Zisis Kotionis, Aristide Antonas, Philippos Oreopoulos

The subject of this study is placed in the centre of Athens and concerns the urban space and the way we perceive and manage it. This particular street to the implementation of intervention, namely Menandrou Str between Evripidou Str and Piraeus Str gathers the features that have turned it into inaccessible. A gap in the urban space. The criminality, the alienation and the insecurity of the locals to visit the area because of the existence of aspects in relation to migrants are some of them. The proposal concerns the street level, the ground floors and the mezzanines of the existing buildings and proposes a new way of reading the level of”±0.00”. The first action involves the integration of all ground floor spaces without affecting the upper floors of apartment buildings, while maintaining the load-bearing elements. Thus, it is created an array of columns, where some parts of the road and its traffic are spilling down the buildings therefore creating public space and acting as market-roofed bazaar, with a strong coexistence of local and global asset. The placement of ephemeral structures used by street vendors is free, creating the conditions for labor outlets.

longitudinal section short section

Resolving the issue of daylight has been from the outset a major concern, which dealt with the use of light wells. At the roof is placed a solar tracker (heliostat) –shown in the cross section, which monitors the movement of the sun and through mirrors directs the light at the ground floor and basement. The operational model of the tracker is shown in the model that simulates the movement of the sun, the reflector and the beam that reaches the ground. Thereby, up around the stairways are created light sources, which remain to the exclusive use of the residents. For maximum use of natural lighting, materials that reflect the light are placed around the sources, like water and grass. Another option around the stairways is the creation of underground parts giving a use which needs greater isolation than the market on the ground floor that is the laboratorial one. Craftsmen and small workshops can exist there by creating a micro environment. Finally, to the uncovered spaces remaining from the block of flats and to an empty field nearby assigned crop uses due to the operation of a street market and to local consumption and cooking. The aim of the proposal is a new deal with the ground floor space and the street, touching on the relationship among building – soil – human factor. The multiculturalism and the activities that support it aim to “lifting” of the no-go zone and to change the current view in response to this region and therefore to all the relevant circumstances which prevail.

the

bankruptcy of architecture adaptor process of transforming active space

year: 2010 team work with: Kallikouni Maria, Patsiou Anastasia, Tampaki Dimitra, Tsernos Paris, Tsoli Georgia advisors: Aristides Antonas, Stavros Vergopoulos, Philippos Oreopoulos, Dimitris Gourdoukis, Platon Issaias

The interaction between technology, active space and time was our first observation. As technology and information are developing the space that they occupy is getting minimum, not only in technological gadgets (cell phones etc) but in bigger scale installations too. The building of Greek Telecommunications (OTE) is an example where this situation is clearly illustrated. Mechanical support is constantly shrinking and the space it occupied is replaced by abandoned rooms. Taking into consideration the constant growth of technology and its needs for less space, our proposal focuses on taking advantage of the left empty space in a dynamic way so it will never be bankrupted again. We are proposing a script which scans the factors that influence the change of space and its content (activities) in such buildings as OTE. These factors are the city, technology and the time (during the day and in a longer run). When the one activity tends to expand, the other (that we have selected to be close to the first) must receive this change and get smaller. Proportionally with each space qualities, size, needs and the movements in the building we choose how to place the activities. Their expansion or shrinkage will be realized in the 3 axes x,y,z.

7xCabin, ETH robotic log processing year: 2013 advisors:

Tom Pawlofsky team work with: MAS CAAD Students 13-14

The 7xCabin is the result of a workshop focusing on the implementation of a robotic fabrication process on the architectural scale. Instead of inventing a new architectural language based on shifts in technology, this projects searches for an integrative approach towards traditional crafts and archetypal forms. Using digital design tools, traditional timber joints were adapted to be usable with raw, irregular logs. These joints have subsequently been produced using a chainsaw mounted on an industrial robot. All movements for the robot were planned digitally, preparing the exact toolpaths for each log type. The interplay between traditional timber construction methods and robotic fabrication turned out to be a rich field of learning. The cabin was reassembled and displayed at the ETHz Campus at Honggerberg during February 2014.
