Zeppos-Georgiadi & Associates architectural design office was founded by Tasos Zeppos and Eleni Georgiadi in 1981. After collaborating closely for over 20 years, the two architects created Zege S.A., which comprises architects, interior designers,

landscape architects, draftsmen and executive employees. Several

freelance professionals (civil, mechanical, lighting and acoustical engineers, agriculturalists, etc) often join Zege’s team to deal with the specific requirements of a project.

The wide range of Zege’s activities includes architectural, interior design and furnishing studies, landscape designs, tender packages-detail drawings and site monitoring. The specific natural, historical and architectural context of a project is always taken into account, resulting in constructions that respect the architectural traditions of a place, the environment and the landscape.

In constant dialogue with the client, Zege views the design and construction process as a whole and suggests solutions distinguished by high aesthetics, strong identity and functionality. The special needs and requirements of the end-user are in the core of Zege’s philosophy and shape the way each project is conceptualised, designed and implemented. New trends and developments in contemporary architecture are creatively incorporated and innovative technologies are used to produce Zege’s distinct style and fulfill people’s wishes. For Zege, Leonardo da Vinci’s saying “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” is the key to contemporary well-being and finds its perfect expression in their work.

Tassos Zeppos was born in Zakynthos in 1951. He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Turin in 1980 and has been a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) since 1982.

Eleni Georgiadi was born in Athens in 1957. She studied Landscape Architecture at the Athenaeum Architecture School in Lausanne and graduated in 1981.

THE MET HOTEL Thessaloniki

The port of Thessaloniki has been given a new life by a 5-star hotel for visitors that adore refined aesthetics and contemporary art.

Entirely designed by Zege, The Met Hotel of the Chandris Group is in a dialogue with its context: wavy surfaces challenge the standard hotel typology; the view of the cranes in the port shapes the experience in the rooms.

White and black marble, wood and glass create elegant contrasts and discretely demark the different areas in an environment that calls for exploration.

FRESH HOTEL Athens

In just eight months a hotel built in the 70s was transformed into a modern design hotel that has set new standards of hospitality in the historical centre of Athens.

Clean lines, vivid colors, top-end materials and iconic objects give its visitors a fresh aesthetic experience, fully justifying its name. Freshness and total relaxation with a view of Acropolis can also be enjoyed in the pool on the roof of the hotel, adhering closely to the codes of minimalist luxury.

ASTIR PALACE BUNGALOWS Vouliagmeni, Attica

Aesthetic continuity of the spaces and the landscape, an unobstructed view to the sea and luxury in its lightest version distinguish the bungalows of the historical Astir Palace Resort after their renovation by Zege.

Simplicity, a basic element of their architectural identity since the ’60s, was kept intact, while being enriched and refreshed with natural materials and design objects in earthy tones.

APHRODITE HOTEL & RESIDENCES Astir Palace Resort, Vouliagmeni, Attica

Zege adds the final touch to the Astir Palace Resort with a project that signals absolute balance between architecture and landscape.

Linear forms free the volumes from their aesthetic weight, limits between spaces are removed, the dialogue with light and view is ongoing: The hotel and residences of Zege’s proposal seem to fly and float, releasing the sensations and offering a unique experience of calmness and relaxation.

Date: 2010 Site area: 64.200 m2 Built area: 21.835 m2 Rooms: 102 Residences: 27





ASTIR PALACE CONFERENCE CENTER Vouliagmeni, Attica

With a capacity of 1.000 people, modern infrastructure and three underground parking floors totaling 9.000 m2, the conference center heightens the level of services offered in Astir Palace Resort even further.

The simple design and discrete colour contrasts are its main characteristics, while the glass ceiling of the foyer adds to a strong impression.

Date: 2009 Built area: 3.000 m2






ARKTIKA HOTEL Murmansk, Russia

Strict urban style and cozy corners are the elements combined by Zege in redesigning part of the Arktika hotel – the

most recognisable building of Murmansk.

After many years, the old Arktika will open its doors with a different character, hosting shops, offices and other functions. Zege will transform its public spaces such as the lobby, the bar-café, the restaurant, the conference halls, the corridors. Arktika will assume Zege’s style and aesthetics and is expected to become a point of reference for the international commercial world.

RIVA MOTEL Como, Italy

With its special form and logic, the Albergo

Motel Riva will become a landmark in the

famous region of the Como Lake.

The main building develops along the

street and forms a crooked line: In its

parallel part, a motel with a separate

entrance to each room is ideal for visitors

seeking complete privacy; in its diagonal

part, a modern hotel offers a more

conventional experience of hospitality.

Also visible from the street, a second

building hosts a restaurant and a

conference hall. Rough concrete and

cedar wood dominate the facades of the

buildings.

Date: 2011

Plot area: 11.200 m2

Built area: 3.750 m2

Rooms: 82




ASTIR PALACE CLUB - TENNIS & SPA Vouliagmeni, Attica

Three tennis courts for enthusiasts of the sport, swimming and relaxation at the pool, moments of well-being at the spa: These are the promises given by Astir Palace Tennis Club, offering an environment of total elegance and calmness.

The architectural scale respects the landscape and inspires the visitor, different levels following the earth inclination isolate naturally the spaces.

Inside them, simple lines and discrete colour contrasts create a zen atmosphere. Large glass surfaces and narrow openings allow constant contact with the exterior spaces, formed elegantly with plants, water and the view to the sea in a leading role.

Date: 2009 Site area: 4.500 m2 Built area: 700 m2






ATTICA PARK AQUARIUM Spata, Athens Suburbs

The form of the aquarium is inspired

by the structure of cells, with irregular

shapes that create a feeling

of continuous transformation.

A ramp connects the two buildings to

the surrounding space like a tissue,

unifying the main components of

the design into a fluid whole.

Covered in panels of ice-white

titanium and with narrow openings

like slots, the building looks

impenetrable and imposing as a

cave, stimulating visitors’ curiosity

and feeling of adventure.

Conceptual design: 2010

Spata, Athens Suburbs

CULTURAL CENTER Kavouri, Athens Suburbs

The competition required a new

space for cultural events,

designed to sit in harmony

with the natural surrounding

landscape and destined to

draw hundreds of visitors.

The building is divided by

a stained-glass atrium on the

entry and circulation axis, letting

natural light in the heart of

the interior as well as capturing

heat in the pale sunshine hours.

The enclosed event space

emerges from the natural slope

and floats on a water bed, starting

a subtle play of texture and light

reflections on its façade.

Design competition: 2009

HOTEL LIESMA – “THE SOUND OF FUNNELS” Jurmala, Latvia

The proposed scheme is inspired by

the sound funnel and the transmitting

of sound waves.

The building sits on the site like

a prism, absorbing the forest, the sea

and the city sounds. Resembling

a spatial and acoustic installation,

This music hotel captivates and

transforms everyday life into

a musical experience. It works as

a device, absorbing information and

experience that are located in the

surrounding environment, capturing

emotions that are choreographed and

again resent.

The proposed scheme for Hotel

Liesma is a building complex that

is divided in three separate volumes.

Design competition: 2011

Site area: 15.042 m2
