A modern villa project in Thessaloniki: Innovation at the heart of contemporary architecture with WEO® cladding from Fiberdeck®.
Contemporary architecture is a constantly evolving field, where innovation plays a key role in creating harmonious, functional and aesthetically pleasing buildings. This is exactly what the architectural firm Ark4lab, based in Thessaloniki, Greece, has achieved with this unique modern villa project. By collaborating with our distributor Materials Ark and integrating Fiberdeck® WEO® cladding, this project is a striking example of how modern materials can be used to push back the boundaries of architectural design.
Ark4lab: a key player in contemporary architecture
The Ark4lab architecture studio, founded by George Tyrothoulakis and Evdokia Voudouri, has distinguished itself since 2010 by exploring original architectural solutions and integrating principles of social interaction into their projects. Whether for private residences, commercial buildings or urban design projects, Ark4lab focus on authenticity and close collaboration with their clients to produce unique spatial experiences. Their work reflects a deep reflection on how architecture influences everyday life.
For this villa in Thessaloniki, Ark4lab chose WEO® cladding from Fiberdeck®, a product that the architects believe played a decisive role in realizing the architectural vision for this project.
Why Fiberdeck® WEO®?
The choice of Fiberdeck WEO® was no accident. Ark4lab was attracted by the material's unique aesthetic and technical characteristics. In a brief interview, the architects shared their enthusiasm for the product:
“WEO® perfectly meets our functional and aesthetic requirements. It's a weather-resistant material with excellent durability, making it an obvious choice for this project. It also helped reinforce the harmonious integration between interior and exterior spaces.”
One of the strengths of WEO® is its ability to provide a texture and materiality that creates visual continuity between the villa's interior and its external environment. This enabled the architects to merge the two spaces seamlessly, enhancing the occupants' experience and creating a feeling of openness and comfort.

A touch of sophistication and ingenuity
Ark4lab also highlighted another key advantage of WEO® cladding: its ability to conceal storage elements. The architects were able to integrate storage spaces into the villa's design without them appearing visually. This feature brought a discreet and ingenious touch of sophistication to the overall design of the house.
“We're completely satisfied with the result, especially thanks to the ability to create invisible storage spaces. This reinforces the purity of the architectural lines while retaining maximum functionality.”
Materials Ark's role in the project
The success of this project would not have been possible without the collaboration with Materials Ark, our local distributor in Thessaloniki, who supplied Fiberdeck's WEO® cladding. MaterialArks understood the architects' requirements in terms of durability and ease of maintenance. Thanks to their expertise, they were able to come up with suitable solutions using low-maintenance materials that retain their original color even outdoors. This approach meets the high demands in terms of longevity and ease of maintenance, essential for modern, sustainable architectural projects.
Conclusion:
A modern achievement in the service of architectural innovation
This modern villa project in Thessaloniki, built by Ark4lab with the support of Materials Ark, is a perfect example of how innovation in materials can enrich contemporary architecture. Fiberdeck® WEO® cladding not only met the aesthetic requirements of the project, but also offered unrivalled durability and flexibility. The project is a model of modern architecture, where every choice, from design to application, reflects a quest for excellence.
