OPEN OFFICE

RFORM.SPACE architecture + design studio, based in Thessaloniki and led by architect Panos Efstratiou, approaches architecture as a creative process centred on people, space and human needs. Drawing on its founder’s international experience in Sweden and postgraduate studies in architecture and public space design, the practice brings together contemporary design thinking with local identity and cultural context. Its design philosophy is grounded in three fundamental principles: human-centred, poetic and functional architecture. Through the creative interplay of materials, architectural lighting and a sensitive response to the history and distinctive characteristics of each place, the studio creates spaces that transcend mere functionality, offering unique experiences while evoking emotions and fostering lasting memories.
Inspired by the visual theme (poster) of this year’s Open House Thessaloniki 2026, which draws on the mythological figure of Thessaloniki —sister of Alexander the Great, who was transformed into a mermaid— RFORM introduces a spatial experience for visitors that engages with the city’s cultural heritage. The intervention seeks to reflect the temporal layering of the city as experienced in everyday life.
