Designed by Karalasos Operaday Architects, Klea Bakery Salonicco located in the ground floor of a 1930 listed building, upon the major historical city’s axis.
The oddly elongate space is knowingly emphasized through a tenacious, legible though, sense of rhythm, provided by raw oak, 19th century’s “new gothic” trusses (familiar in period city’s buildings) patched with linear untreated black steel structures. The accented axial layout serves and fulfills the numerous and severe display’s demandings.
The on-site preparation of oven-made products, becomes whimsically obvious, through the insertion of the episodic pavilion shape, resulting the basic roof structure. The gradual ceiling lowering, enhances the cutting-edge severity, ending up to the, inspired by Theo van Doesburg, glass composition.
