Athens, Greece
Evgenia Manta and Mihail Proveleggios of Proplusma Architects transform an urban space into a classy and refined workplace that houses Three Cents Headquarters offices in the center of Athens.
Located in one of the liveliest spots in the center of Athens, the new Three Cents premises meets the fresh perspective of this league of four men and keeps the essence of their journey alive.
Taking cues from the company’s values and the founders’ background, Proplusma Architects delivered a space where the main feature is the bar, the lounge area which functions as the core of the facility.
This is a spot where casual, spontaneous meetings can take place, while it can also serve as a waiting room or a place to host the tasting of the company’s products.
As the rest of the offices revolve around it, the bar remains a crossroad in the everyday life of the employees, as it has been in the past, for the founders of Three Cents.
In this exciting project, the architects managed to combine the retro elements of the existing building, with the aesthetic taste of Three Cents, creating a unique working environment.
The rejuvenation of the herringbone parquet makes the floor a lively textured surface, while selected frames and artwork dress the otherwise calm deep green or white surface of the walls, paying homage to the prohibition era, which, after all, inspired the company’s name.
This harmonious combination of material and color is complemented with a variety of custom-designed pieces of furniture, topped off with a lighting design that creates various scenarios between a productive day at work and an atmospheric experience.
