  1. Exhibition Center

The Exhibition Center is a group of four buildings conceived as an active strip. The Exhibition Centre is not an architectural intervention, but an urban machine

 

  1. Business Center

The Business Center is a building that encloses four different programs: Hotel, Office Building, Commercial/ Retail Stores and the Multifunctional/Recreational Space. The elevation of the Business Center facing Egnatia Street is consisted of three parts: the base (ground level), a gallery made up by concrete, glass and polycarbonate elements which is the storefront for the Retail Stores, the main part, a brick surface which is rhythmically interrupted by large openings, behind which lay the offices.

  1. Congress Center

Archaic and at the same time futuristic, the Congress Center signifies the entrance to the Confex Park site from the south-east. Its northern elevation gives the impression of a rigid administrative building whereas its elevation towards the south is a disc that features a combination of basic geometries, which on the floor level form a balcony that provides unobstructed view to the Thermaic Gulf and Mount Olympus.
