“The Breeder” Gallery, located in Athens, Greece and originally built in 1970 in an area where once there was an ice cream factory, the building was left empty and abandoned for many years before it was selected by the owners of the gallery to become their new creativity centre. The renovation was undertaken by the Greek architect Aris Zambikos.
The interior space changed a lot in order to become practical to its new function. On the contrary, the old, steel window frames were kept unchangeable contributing to the industrial character of the building. The introduction of a new concrete staircase’s design that helps spread the light that comes through the main skylight gives this project a new breath of life.
