Designing a place to look beyond

We are delighted to see the Asea Observatory featured in Kathimerini — a project that beautifully demonstrates how a shared vision, dedication, and love for science can transform an idea into reality.

Our studio had the pleasure of contributing to this unique initiative through the architectural design of the observatory and the preparation of the permit documentation.

A small structure with a much larger purpose: creating a place for observation, knowledge, and connection — between people, science, and the extraordinary night sky of Arcadia.

The realization of the project was made possible through the collective effort, craftsmanship, and personal dedication of the members of the Association of Astrophysics, Astronomy and Mechanics of Asea.
