Painters Workshop by A31 Architecture
August 4, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Architecture
A lot of us are quite particular when it comes to our workspaces, so imagine having the building above as your creative workshop. The building was built by A31 Architecture for Alexandros Liapis, a sculptor and painter who lives in Dilesi in Greece. The space seems quite open but extremely well protected at the same time. I love how the reinforced concrete is layered and then arches above the space, taking a classical shape but giving it a contemporary twist. My favorite part is definitely the gigantic window that lines the entire face of the building.
I would love to have a workspace like this, though I think it would just be me, a big desk and a computer. But if you wanted to put a group of people in here it could make for an amazing office… that’s you know, kind of in the middle of nowhere.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.That’s just gorgeous!
Like the new layout by the way, nice and clean.
Jaw dropping.
hi bobby,
unrelated to this post, but i saw you had an evan hecox print next to your desk. Did it come framed?I received a print as a gift and im going to get it framed in black. It looks great, and so does the new layout.
@Sean – I actually got it as a present from the folks at Arkitip, so it came unframed and sat in my closet for a year or so. If you’re in the market to get one I’d totally suggest buying through them, awesome people.
yep that’s where i got it from, cant wait ’til its framed!
Such a terrific space to work and be creative and productive. I remember a similar project for a new type of houses in London called ‘House in an arch’ by Piercy Conner Architects http://bit.ly/9bAf2k
Love the new look!
@Jeremy – Thanks Jeremy! It’s still a work in progress but I’m happy with the new structure.
Nice Office/worckspace
