The Design

About Kaizen Campus Kontorbygning

Kaizen Campus er en kontorbygning i Athen, Hellas. Designet fokuserer på estetikk, miljøpåvirkning og brukeropplevelse. Alle innvendige rom drar nytte av naturlig lys og luftgjennomstrømning, og de tre etasjene er forbundet gjennom innvendig sirkulasjon og utvendige ramper. En indre gårdsplass fungerer som kompleksets sosiale og funksjonelle hjerte, med innganger, hvileområder og vertikal sirkulasjon. Fasaden gir skygge og filtrerer støy, mens gjentatte vertikale lameller fremhever bygningens elliptiske form.

Production Technology
Kaizen Campus is an innovative and original architectural project, with emphasis on the environmental impact and the user experience. It has received a Gold Medal in the Aluminum in Architecture Awards 2022, for the innovative and effective use of Aluminum in a way that provides effective soundproofing to a project that is located in one of the busiest intersections of Athens, while ensuring the desired visual outcome. The environmental goals of the project have
been achieved in their entirety and the project is registered with the certification goal of LEED GOLD. Moreover, Kaizen Campus serves as a landmark and fits its privileged location perfectly, providing a focal point on a main vehicular axis.
The shape of the building and the emphasis given to the central courtyard are a direct result of the location of the building, ensuring privacy and noise control for the users of the space.
Design Challenge
The plot is located on the intersection of two main highways in Athens. Along the highways the zone is commercial and behind that zone, the neighborhoods are primarily residential. Kaizen Campus had to be designed in a way that would set it apart, make it a landmark, but also in a way that would shield the adjacent neighborhood from the highways. The height of the building is aligned with the scale of the neighborhood and it doesn't impose itself on it.
Inspiration
The inner courtyard serves as the social and functional heart of the complex, with ramps, entrances, resting areas and vertical circulation that ensure connectivity but also subdivision. All interior spaces benefit from natural light and air flow and all three floors are interconnected either from the interior or with exterior ramps. The facade design
provides shading and filters the noise while accentuating the elliptical shape of the building via the repetition of the vertical louvers.
Project Duration
The project is located in Athens, Greece. The construction started in April 2021 and it was completed in December 2022.
Operation Flow
Kaizen Campus is a project that redefines the appearance and organisation of office buildings and that has been designed for the international scene, without losing touch with its surroundings. Its facade is dealing with the environmental conditions of Athens effectively and the building's organisation, with internal and external circulation is perfectly integrated to the local climate. The emphasis given to the central courtyard, is crucial to the success of the project and its architectural identity.
