Greek architecture practice K-Studio<\/a> and engineering firm Arup<\/a> have unveiled plans for the renovation<\/a> and expansion of the Grigoris Lamprakis Stadium in Athens<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commonly known as El Paso, the 6,300-seat stadium<\/a>, which is currently home to Athens Kallithea FC, will see its capacity expanded to 9,000 seats, existing facilities upgraded and an extension added to its front.<\/p>\n

Looking to “activate the site beyond match days”, the proposal by K-Studio<\/a> and Arup<\/a> will also introduce a new public park, restaurants and event spaces intended to reinforce the stadium’s role as a multi-use venue.<\/p>\n

“The transformation seeks to re-envision the stadium as a contemporary venue for sports and culture, enhancing its role as a place of gathering and wellbeing,” said K-Studio founder Dimitris Karampatakis.<\/p>\n

“The proposal reframes the site as an active civic hub, strengthening its connectivity and transforming it into a destination that attracts both local residents and visitors from across Athens,” creative director Giorgos Karampelas added.<\/p>\n

The design by K-Studio and Arup is set to largely preserve the stadium’s existing structure, which is centred by a football \u00a0pitch encircled by a running track.<\/p>\n

Sat on a backdrop of the site’s rocky landscape, the surrounding seating stands will be expanded and partially shaded by canopies.<\/p>\n

A new facade addition, informed by local scaffolding structures, will be added to the stadium’s front.<\/p>\n
