Take a Peek Inside Workable’s Athens Offices

Guys from cloud-based recruitment platform Workable, sent us photos of their beautiful office located in Athens, the Greek capital.

Having an office over two floors can have its drawbacks. It’s important to have a common space and lunchtime is the only time where both floors would regularly come together. So I concentrated on making an open and expansive kitchen and dining room area where people could enjoy a decent lunch. To a newcomer it might seem that the area given over to the kitchen is excessive but it’s serving an important purpose. The space was dominated by a series of large, round pillars that are part of the building’s structure. We encased these, transforming them into square storage areas with colorful shelving. We’ve taken something ugly and made a good-looking feature out of it. The effect is pleasing aesthetically, subtle, as well as practical, says Maria Doxa
