In Kato Petralona, Athens, near the first source of electricity in the capital – Gazi – and opposite the Pavlidis factory, the iconic chocolate factory, is the building that once housed the factory that produced shoes that became synonymous with sports in Greece in in the 20th century, the Sportex. This building gained new life by transforming it into serviced offices for Spaces, part of the multinational giant IWG. The building contains, in addition to offices of many different sizes, spacious reception areas, cafes, meeting and lecture rooms, and coworking areas. The central goal of the design is the harmonious knitting of the spirit of the industrial past of the building with the requirements of a state-of-the-art office building
