A Look Inside Orange Grove’s Coworking Campus in Athens

Orange Grove, a startup incubator which is an initiative of the Dutch embassy in Athens, recently decided to expand its campus to provide startups with individual offices.

“The Orange Grove look and feel has been maintained throughout the new design, to create a sense of unity with the original Orange Grove. Again a bright colourful and inspiring character of the space was seeked, with extended use of graphics and symbols refering to industrial and harbour environment, the Netherlands and Greece, and obviously to oranges. To unite the extension as a whole, the three offices of the ground floor and the two on the mezzanine have semi-transparent partitions and are linked by common collaboration areas. The partition system that divides them contains a custom made glass-polycarbonate sandwich that allows the required semi-transparency but also achieves a high level of sound-insulation.”, says GFRA Architecture
