The “KIOSK” is located at the foothills of the Panormos tower. The project concerns a wheeled canteen that was to be placed at the edge of the plot, on an existing platform surrounded by lush vegetation.
The client’s request was the construction of a façade that would conceal the wheeled canteen so that at first glance it would not be easily perceived. Thus, on the main elevation, a secondary self-supporting metal structure was created, so as not to fully follow the interior volume, clad with wooden paneling that also wraps around the platform. The light-colored surface is interrupted by a black frame-window that protrudes around its perimeter and functions as a service counter.
The side elevation, also exposed to pedestrian traffic, was covered with a perforated structure made of metal hollow sections, on which a climbing plant grows, extending the surrounding landscape.
On the canopy, the black awning fabric is interrupted by a circular transparent opening, creating a natural light source that offers both customers and passersby a view towards the sky.
