Stark, brutal and beautiful. The 10AM Event Space, Athens, Greece by Studio Andrew Trotter provides a stunning shell with its raw concrete, corten soften by sofas, curtains and antique furniture. The space can be divided and is available for events, exhibitions, special dinners, shootings and other creative purposes.
