Athens Airport Duty Free Shops
The extensive renovation of 1000 sq.m. existing shops and an addition of another 800 sq.m. new shopping facilities for the old Athens Airport, needed a new connecting architectural identity. Besides all graphics and labeling, certain architectural elements, forms and materials have been used to unify the new duty free gallery. Hanging wing-shaped lit entrance indicators, prefabricated windows and ad-holders, encased lit products and monitors, aluminum panel facades and oddly shaped glass displays gave a new unifying character. Specific use of artificial lighting and smart detailing in a custom made manner – but with an extensive fabricated production – added architectural quality with a lot of economy, due to the fact that the new Airport was to operate a year later. Some of the featured elements in that design were used successfully by the client in the New Airport of Athens.
