Our Molon Labe Gym project has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Architectural Design – Restoration & Renovation category of the Architecture MasterPrize 2025.
Located in Egkomi, the project reimagines a disused 1960s industrial shell as a contemporary fitness facility, prioritising adaptive reuse over demolition and replacement. The intervention preserves the building’s structural memory through a new steel roof that traces the rhythm of the original beams, while a corten steel volume and a glazed façade carefully negotiate opacity and transparency toward the street.
Internally, exposed services and a choreographed lighting scheme articulate distinct training zones and reinforce the building’s industrial identity. Rather than treating restoration as a purely corrective act, the project positions it as a generative design process—bridging industrial heritage with contemporary use, atmosphere, and identity.
This recognition affirms our commitment to adaptive reuse as a sustainable and culturally grounded architectural strategy.
