We are pleased to announce that UNIC Athens Campus has been shortlisted for the SHARE Architecture Awards 2026.

The project reflects a contemporary approach to educational architecture, bringing together functionality, spatial clarity and a strong architectural identity. Designed to support the evolving needs of a dynamic academic community, the campus creates an environment where learning, research and interaction come together under the roof of the former Olympic Airways data centre.

The Medical School building is a Finalist in the Adaptive Retrofit category recognised for its commitment to creating meaningful spaces for education and knowledge and capitalising on existing building stock.

Join us in London presenting the project on the 3rd of December:

The Philopappou Hill Residence is a house shaped by the central Athens site's pronounced topography.

The project develops as a sequence of spaces embedded within the terrain, allowing the architecture to follow the natural contours of the landscape. Floor-to-ceiling height openings define principal facades and frame the Acropolis views, while introducing daylight deep into the living spaces. The resulting composition emphasizes horizontality and reinforces the connection between the house and the distant urban horizon.

Rather than relying on a singular gesture, privacy is achieved through depth, screening and controlled alternation of transparency and opacity. This interplay creates changing conditions of light, shadow and outlook throughout the day while mediating the relationship between the house and its surroundings. Shaded thresholds and outdoor living spaces establish a measured dialogue between landscape, city and dwelling.

This is views of summer from global bka residences.

From open horizons and shaded terraces to the quiet details of a designed home, each view offers a different way of experiencing the season. We strive for architecture that not only frames but creates these moments, making the landscape part of everyday life.

A new vacation home is taking shape within an old olive grove overlooking the Ionian Sea.

Set along an elongated, sloping site, the project is composed of two discreet volumes that follow the natural topography and the traces of existing drystone walls. The main house settles into the lower contours of the landscape, while the guesthouse is positioned further uphill. Stone bases anchor the buildings to the ground, while lightweight CLT structures, generous glazing and sheltered outdoor spaces open them towards the sea.

Architecture and landscape are conceived as one continuous experience, preserving the character of the olive grove and its agricultural memory.

Join us tomorrow at Material Matters Vol. 7 at Megaron the Athens Concert Hall featuring a presentation by Demetra Katsota.

Responding to this year’s theme of "Facades: Metal, Wood, Glass & Cladding" our co-Founder will examine the architectural potential of a building envelope through two recent projects. K314 Office Building and Ellinikon Health Sciences Campus for UNIC Athens offer ground for a broader discussion on the expressive role of facades in Greek contemporary architecture.

The presentation "Depth, Rhythm, Boundary" will also reflect on the internationally-recognised Economist Building by Alison & Peter Smithson, whose rigor, clarity and urban presence still inform facade design development today.

UNIC Athens opens its doors in Ellinikon, and bka witnessed more than a beginning; we saw the hard work of a diverse team giving form to a bold vision.

The first building of the UNIC Athens – Health Sciences Campus is a Medical School rooted in the Mediterranean landscape. Through the inventive retrofit of the former Olympic Airways data centre, the building stands as a dialogue between light, space, and purpose. The project was developed in collaboration with Michael Cosmas Architecture.

As architects of the project, we express our sincere gratitude to the University of Nicosia for their trust, vision, and continuous support throughout this process. We are thankful to all collaborators, consultants, and contributors across government, planning, design, education, and medical institutions whose work enabled the transformation of an existing structure into a new academic and medical institution under demanding conditions.

May this building foster curiosity, exchange, and quiet breakthroughs for generations to come, as the campus continues to evolve.
