Alpha/Sigma Architectural Studio in Voula

Open facade

The architectural office is situated within a shopping centre in the heart of Voula, which houses both shops as well as offices.

Design Philosophy

The project aims to showcase the philosophy of Alpha/Sigma Architects while creating a functional and inviting workspace for both employees and clients. The design was shaped by questions such as what defines the aesthetic of this architectural practice, its construction methods, and its overall professional direction.

Materials & Lighting

Functionality is integrated with the office’s brand color palette, while a focus on materiality, transparency, and the use of artificial lighting creates a space that supports the architects’ daily activities. Brightly colored wallpapers and tiles are strategically placed, providing contrast against surfaces painted in white tones. Finally, the space is significantly upgraded in energy efficiency through an extensive renovation.

Spatial Organization

The floor plan is organized into zones that offer varying levels of privacy and transparency. The main work areas and meeting room connect directly to the exterior through a large, glazed façade, promoting openness to the city. The workstations are functional and tailored to meet the specific needs of the office, providing a visually “quiet” atmosphere while ensuring ample storage space. Transparent and translucent elements separate the workstations from the meeting area, which is adjacent to the material library. Finally, all utility rooms are situated at the back of the office and can be fully isolated when needed.
