New NBG Building

Thessaloniki, Greece

2002

Aris Konstantinidis Architecture Award, 2005

New National Bank Office Building in Thessaloniki

Surface: 2.000 sqm
Design 2000 / Construction 2002

The building represents the prototype of a series of new buildings that express the new image of the Bank exhibited also in its recently completed New Headquarters in Athens (Megaron Karatza). The design aims both at a strong presence and a minimalist look, based on clarity of geometry and subtle design gestures having to do with the distinction between a solid mass, its boundary and the issue of transparency.
