As part of the 13th OPEN HOUSE Thessaloniki, the Teight Hotel will participate in the event on November 23-24, 2024, offering a unique opportunity to explore its architectural transformation and cultural significance. Located in the heart of Thessaloniki, Teight Hotel is situated in a neighborhood celebrated since the 1980s as a vibrant hub for nightlife, music, and design innovation. Today, this "spirit of the streets" is reimagined through ongoing photography projects and artistic collaborations, seamlessly integrated into the hotel’s rooms and communal spaces to create a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere.
What is OPEN HOUSE?
OPEN HOUSE is a global initiative that celebrates and promotes the value of architecture. Founded in London in 1992, it has since expanded to cities worldwide, opening the doors of private and public buildings to the public for free. For one weekend each year, visitors are invited to explore these spaces and uncover the stories behind their design and purpose.
A Modern Revival of a 1970s Gem
Teight Hotel occupies a modernist building from the 1970s, which has been meticulously restored to honor its architectural heritage while adapting to contemporary needs. The original façade has been preserved, with upgraded window systems that emphasize the building’s distinctive design. A key enhancement includes the addition of linear lighting on each level of the eight-story structure, which automatically adjusts in intensity to complement natural light throughout the day.
Innovative Interior Design
The interior of Teight Hotel has undergone extensive renovations to accommodate its new role as a smart, personalized hospitality space. The design prioritizes comfort and functionality, creating an inviting environment that enhances the guest experience. Strategic lighting, with a combination of direct and indirect illumination, allows spaces to adapt seamlessly to different uses throughout the day.
Aesthetic Harmony and Timeless Design
The interior design strikes a perfect balance between earthy tones, custom-made furniture, and wooden floors, paired with smooth marble finishes and sleek metallic details. The result is a modern yet timeless aesthetic that resonates with elegance and sophistication.
Teight Hotel is more than just a building—it’s a testament to architectural evolution and cultural expression. Its participation in OPEN HOUSE Thessaloniki 2024 offers a rare chance to experience this iconic space and explore its seamless blend of past, present, and future. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover its story and immerse yourself in its charm!
