Under the construction of the new over-ground parking area of
the short term parking P1 at Eleftherios Venizelos airport in
Athens, the project included the design of the surrounding area
at the Arrivals level.
At the entrance of the building a new plaza was created with
dominant use of water as the main element. The main objective
was to design a plaza that is both a landmark and meeting point
for users and a pleasant entrance for the Parking Building.
All floor materials are natural and the use of nested marble
‘steps’ creates, in conjunction with inserted floor lights,
distinctive paths from the Arrivals Building to the Parking
Building.
On the south side of the building, the circular ramps are framed
at the ground level with arched-shape plants masses that give
the impression that the building emerges from the existing
planting area.
