Building Story

This bright corner building comprises five stories, 28 apartments, and a communal rooftop. Originally an office building, it has been completely transformed into a thoughtfully designed living space, with balconies added to each apartment. The building boasts facilities such as a gym and a rooftop terrace with views of the Acropolis.

The Neighborhood

Located in the lively and trendy Gazi neighborhood, this area is a hub for art and culture. At its center lies Technopolis, a former gas factory now transformed into a multipurpose cultural venue. Just 450 meters from the project, Technopolis hosts live concerts, art exhibitions, and festivals, making it one of the city’s most lively spots. Gazi is also decorated with street art and graffiti, offering a range of restaurants, tavernas, and bars that remain bustling at all hours. Its rich cultural heritage, combined with a youthful energy, attracts both locals and visitors, making it a perfect spot for contemporary living.

Architecture

Designed by Pieris Architects, the building draws inspiration from Gazi’s industrial heritage, defined by raw metal elements and grey steel textures. The façade treatment features barcode-like aluminum cladding and thin metallic layers that reference the visual language of the former gas factory, while new balconies and subtle extensions reinterpret the original proportions for contemporary living.
