Summary

Designers George Vlasis Pakalidis and Artemis Valyraki transformed a former tyre workshop in Athens' Koukaki neighborhood into Voulkanizater, a listening bar and restaurant that preserves the building's industrial heritage. The design incorporates original elements like wheel rims and car parts while using wood to create contrast with the industrial interior. The venue serves as both a dining establishment and a space for music appreciation, blending industrial aesthetics with contemporary hospitality.
