Tsabikos Petras Architectural Studio won the first prize of a Greek design competition that challenged participants to redesign an existing structure into an archaeological museum. The winning entry examines the reintroduction of green areas into the city and the relationship among city, sea and coast. The museum plan is an effortless transition from urban to natural landscapes and looks like an “urban deck” that forms a connection to the views of the sea.
