Zeus is Loose by Urban Soul Project – The design object of Zeus Hostel of Thermaikos Gulf, (on Olympus, Thessanolikh, Greece) is the result of three parameters: (a) the management of an existing office building of the 70’s on Aristotelous Square, in front of the historical monument of Panagia Chalkeon, (b) the typical facilities of a youth hostel, and (c) the concept of the place, the references to the top of Olympus, dominant over the view of the Thermaikos Gulf and the residence of the ancient Greek gods.

The presence of the monument of Panagia Chalkeon and the timeless presence of copper processors in the area led to the use of copper color in the facade of the building. The openings in the facade were opened up to the structural elements of the floor slab, beams, and columns. The interior layout follows the needs of the rooms, with beds in height, as well as wet areas in all rooms. READ MORE ABOUT PARADISE COLORS
