‘Sign’ Resort Entrance in Athens

 

In the 1960s, the local Tourism Authority developed several beaches in Athens with modernist facilities that respected the natural environment and reflected the post-war lifestyle of Greece. However, these facilities fell into decay over time. Recently, they were privatized and renovated by new owners.

The design for a resort entrance was part of one of these renovation projects. It aimed to be a landmark and a ‘sign’ for the resort, while also maintaining a connection with the modernist style of the existing buildings.
