Zeppos-Georgiadi & Associates architectural design office was
founded by Tasos Zeppos and Eleni Georgiadi in 1981. After
company
collaborating closely for over 20 years, the two architects created
Zege S.A., which comprises architects, interior designers, profile
landscape architects, draftsmen and executive employees. Several
freelance professionals (civil, mechanical, lighting and acoustical
engineers, agriculturalists, etc) often join Zege’s team to deal with
the specific requirements of a project.

The wide range of Zege’s activities includes architectural, interior
design and furnishing studies, landscape designs, tender
packages-detail drawings and site monitoring. The specific natural,
historical and architectural context of a project is always taken into
account, resulting in constructions that respect the architectural
traditions of a place, the environment and the landscape.

In constant dialogue with the client, Zege views the design and
construction process as a whole and suggests solutions
distinguished by high aesthetics, strong identity and functionality.
The special needs and requirements of the end-user are in the
core of Zege’s philosophy and shape the way each project is
conceptualised, designed and implemented. New trends and
developments in contemporary architecture are creatively
incorporated and innovative technologies are used to produce
Zege’s distinct style and fulfill people’s wishes. For Zege, Leonardo
da Vinci’s saying “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” is the
key to contemporary well-being and finds its perfect expression in
their work.

The port of Thessaloniki has been
given a new life by a 5-star hotel
for visitors that adore refined
aesthetics and contemporary art.

Entirely designed by Zege, The
Met Hotel of the Chandris Group is
in a dialogue with its context:
wavy surfaces challenge the
standard hotel typology; the view
of the cranes in the port shapes
the experience in the rooms.

White and black marble, wood and
glass create elegant contrasts and
discretely demark the different
areas in an environment that calls
for exploration.

THE MET HOTEL
Thessaloniki

In just eight months a hotel built in the 70s was
transformed into a modern design hotel that has set new
standards of hospitality in the historical centre of Athens.

Clean lines, vivid colors, top-end materials and iconic
objects give its visitors a fresh aesthetic experience, fully
justifying its name. Freshness and total relaxation with a
view of Acropolis can also be enjoyed in the pool on the
roof of the hotel, adhering closely to the codes of
minimalist luxury.

Aesthetic continuity of the
spaces and the landscape, an
unobstructed view to the sea
and luxury in its lightest version
distinguish the bungalows of
the historical Astir Palace Resort
after their renovation by Zege.

Simplicity, a basic element of
their architectural identity since
the ’60s, was kept intact, while
being enriched and refreshed
with natural materials and
design objects in earthy tones.

Zege adds the final touch to the Astir
Palace Resort with a project that
signals absolute balance between
architecture and landscape.

Linear forms free the volumes from
their aesthetic weight, limits between
spaces are removed, the dialogue with
light and view is ongoing: The hotel
and residences of Zege’s proposal
seem to fly and float, releasing the
sensations and offering a unique
experience of calmness and relaxation.

With a capacity of 1.000 people,
modern infrastructure and three
underground parking floors totaling
9.000 m2, the conference center
heightens the level of services offered
in Astir Palace Resort even further.

The simple design and discrete colour
contrasts are its main characteristics,
while the glass ceiling of the foyer
adds to a strong impression.

Strict urban style and cozy corners are
the elements combined by Zege in
redesigning part of the Arktika hotel – the
most recognisable building of Murmansk.

After many years, the old Arktika will
open its doors with a different character,
hosting shops, offices and other
functions. Zege will transform its public
spaces such as the lobby, the bar-café,
the restaurant, the conference halls, the
corridors. Arktika will assume Zege’s style
and aesthetics and is expected to become
a point of reference for the international
commercial world.

With its special form and logic, the Albergo
Motel Riva will become a landmark in the
famous region of the Como Lake.

The main building develops along the
street and forms a crooked line: In its
parallel part, a motel with a separate
entrance to each room is ideal for visitors
seeking complete privacy; in its diagonal
part, a modern hotel offers a more
conventional experience of hospitality.

Also visible from the street, a second
building hosts a restaurant and a
conference hall. Rough concrete and
cedar wood dominate the facades of the
buildings.

Three tennis courts for
enthusiasts of the sport,
swimming and relaxation at the
pool, moments of well-being at
the spa: These are the promises
given by Astir Palace Tennis
Club, offering an environment of
total elegance and calmness.

The architectural scale respects
the landscape and inspires the
visitor, different levels following
the earth inclination isolate
naturally the spaces.

Inside them, simple lines and
discrete colour contrasts create
a zen atmosphere. Large glass
surfaces and narrow openings
allow constant contact with the
exterior spaces, formed
elegantly with plants, water and
the view to the sea in a leading
role.

The form of the aquarium is inspired
by the structure of cells, with irregular
shapes that create a feeling
of continuous transformation.

A ramp connects the two buildings to
the surrounding space like a tissue,
unifying the main components of
the design into a fluid whole.

Covered in panels of ice-white
titanium and with narrow openings
like slots, the building looks
impenetrable and imposing as a
cave, stimulating visitors’ curiosity
and feeling of adventure.

Conceptual design: 2010

The competition required a new
space for cultural events,
designed to sit in harmony
with the natural surrounding
landscape and destined to
draw hundreds of visitors.

The building is divided by
a stained-glass atrium on the
entry and circulation axis, letting
natural light in the heart of
the interior as well as capturing
heat in the pale sunshine hours.

The enclosed event space
emerges from the natural slope
and floats on a water bed, starting
a subtle play of texture and light
reflections on its façade.

The proposed scheme is inspired by
the sound funnel and the transmitting
of sound waves.

The building sits on the site like
a prism, absorbing the forest, the sea
and the city sounds. Resembling
a spatial and acoustic installation,
This music hotel captivates and
transforms everyday life into
a musical experience. It works as
a device, absorbing information and
experience that are located in the
surrounding environment, capturing
emotions that are choreographed and
again resent.

The proposed scheme for Hotel
Liesma is a building complex that
is divided in three separate volumes.
