The project proposes a multi-functional business district with high added value for Thessaloniki. The site, part of the historic development of the port and an ex-industrial zone, defines the identity of the city as a maritime and commercial hub. Originally located on the waterfront, it is now an in-between zone, lying between the new port and the western gate of Thessaloniki.
The goal of the project to restore a phenomenology of maritime life is reconstituted through the lively architecture, the visual connections to the Thermaic Gulf and a green zone serving as leisure space and buffer towards the port.
