The V Tower concept presents an architectural proposal for a 100m office high-rise, designed to serve as the headquarters of a bank.

The building stands as a distinct landmark on a highway, and expresses an emphasis on flexibility and connectivity to its urban surroundings. Its architectural design develops around a central core that allows for open and adaptable office space, ensuring that employees benefit from sweeping views of the landscape.

The façade design plays a key role in defining the building’s identity, as it breaks down its mass and creates a sense of movement across its surface with six types of vertical fins. The facade meets the ground with an undulating form which extends into a canopy, marking the entrance to the building and adding a sculptural element to the public realm.

Votanikos Office Campus is a competition entry for a commercial office building in downtown Athens.

The proposal's central idea is a stepped building design that creates planted terraces on various levels, integrating nature and open spaces. The form gradually steps down toward a neighboring park, forming a seamless connection. These terraces work beyond simple planting elements; they offer sizable green areas for the building to extend outwards for social networking spaces.

The lower floors feature two wings, merging into a single structure as the building rises. Its structural system and circulation are organized in a way that maintains independence of uses and access, while distinct functions are integrated into one whole. Simultaneously, each floor is designed to be flexible and open to future transformation.
