The plot of the building is located in an area of the city with a strong industrial character near the National Road Athens- Lamia. There was a pre-existing supporting structure of a building that was not completed. The challenge was to design a new building, which would maintain the load-bearing structure of the existing building, and at the same time meet the new expanded building programme, with increased office space.

A prerequisite for the design was the creation of a method of transforming and adding surfaces to the existing building that would form a unified image and identity, of a hyper-local character, while meeting the needs of a modern office space.

The new office spaces as building units - "boxes" - are added to the existing building, composing a new structure. An additive method of composition is followed, where the new office units are placed either as extensions of the existing floors or as additions of floors.
