VOLVO HELLAS OFFICES

DESCRIPTION

Project Completion Date: July 2025

The 1,000 sq.m. office space on the second floor of a building in Marousi was designed by Volvo’s architectural team to accommodate the company’s new offices in Athens. Following the brand’s international guidelines, the design was functionally and aesthetically adapted to the existing space, while retaining only a few key elements of the original layout, such as the floorplate outline, the restrooms and the central staircase.

At the heart of the layout is a large open-plan workspace, positioned in the brightest and most favorable area of the floor. In line with the company’s workplace philosophy, there are no private offices; all employees, including senior staff, work within the same shared environment. The furniture includes height-adjustable desks and acoustic desk screens, reflecting a contemporary way of working that prioritizes comfort, ergonomics and flexibility.

The remaining areas of the floor include meeting rooms and lounge spaces of varying sizes. These rooms are fully equipped with modern technology while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere through the use of fabrics in warm tones, carpeted floors, curtains and suspended lighting fixtures.

The electrical installations, as well as the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, were designed from scratch and incorporate modern automation features that contribute to a comfortable and efficient working environment.

Finally, the kitchen area—simple yet fully equipped—provides a relaxed space for informal meetings and breaks for both employees and visitors. Its functionality is further enhanced by the adjacent outdoor area, which can be used for many months throughout the year.
