Flooring Around Hotel BAR and Breakfast Room

( description )

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Athens, Evripidis Hotel occupies a 1970s modernist building that naturally intertwines the ancient with the contemporary—much like the city itself. The breathtaking view of the Acropolis serves as a constant reminder of Athens’ timeless dialogue between past and future. The redesign of the upper floor aimed to transform it into a multifunctional space, seamlessly operating as both a bar and a breakfast lounge, offering guests an immersive experience of Athenian culture and aesthetics.

The material selection pays homage to Athens’ rich architectural heritage. Marble, a symbol of the city’s long-standing craftsmanship, takes center stage, complemented by bold tiles and wooden planks. These materials create a striking patchwork of triangular shapes on the floor, defining distinct zones within the space while maintaining visual continuity.
Golden metal arches introduce a neoclassical reference, standing in stark contrast to the sharp geometric patterns of the flooring. To counterbalance the neutrality of the surrounding urban landscape, a vibrant color palette was incorporated into the seating areas, injecting warmth and energy. The ceiling, painted in a rich terracotta hue, reflects the city’s intense sunlight, enhancing the overall ambiance.
