Gianniki Store was nominated for honor in the National Architectural Design Competition of the Thessaloniki Waterway Wharf Scheme in Greece. The project includes the design of four wharves (Eleutheria Square, Megaro, Aretsou and Perea), each of which consists of three elements: base, lounge and inflatable structure. The main target keywords of this competition scheme are functionality, economy and innovation.

The basement is designed to guide the flow of people and arrange the lighting and seating of the wharf. The base is made of unprocessed wooden boards and treated with tar from shipbuilding technology. The seat is made of stone, and the lighting device is integrated into the base surface.

The lounge has a public toilet and storage space (a), as well as a ticket booth and a pier cafe (b).

The rest area is made of steel structure and covered with the same untreated wooden board as the floor. Doors and windows are made of another shipbuilding material-brass. The inflated structure is a shelter against bad weather and can collect solar energy and rainwater. The whole structure is supported by three circular steel columns, each of which has three legs. The surface of the inflatable structure is provided with continuous mechanical support (gas supply), the side wall is made of BoPET, and the upper and lower walls are made of ETFE. Polyester film is a highly reflective synthetic film, while tetrafluoroethylene is a transparent synthetic film, and both materials have high tensile strength.

There is no indoor waiting space in the dock, Thessaloniki has a mild climate, and the average waiting time of users is also very short. This will help to save the operating cost of heating in winter and cooling in summer.

The reflective surface of the inflated inflatable structure enables it to be combined with the wharf anywhere.

The three elements contained in each are the same. One is to save the cost of design and construction, and the other is to learn from the existing design when the Thessaloniki waterway terminal is expanded in other places in the future. In addition, the Thessaloniki Waterway Terminal adheres to the same combination of elements and forms a unified whole. In the process of wharf construction, the maintenance requirements are low, all components are easy to install and replace, and they are moisture-proof, salt water corrosion-proof and damage-proof.
