Reflections on the location:

​

Access

​​

 The building is locates in Metaxourgio in Megalou Alexandrou Str. & Marathonos Str. It is on 5 minutes’ walk from metro station Metaxourgio (red line) and 2 minutes’ walk from the nearest stop of the bus line “X93” which goes from the airport to Ktel Kifissou. The other areas of Athens are easy to access from there. Therefore, its location is ideal for a hostel implementation.

​

​

Repairs & Renovations: 

Due to the abandonment of the building, many repairs are needed. The exterior walls need reinforcement. Many cracks on the walls are visible. I will keep it in its industrial character by keeping metallic frames around the windows and the front door & metallic railings on the balconies. The staircases & the elevator remain as it is. However, I will incorporate a small platform to reach the half-floor.
