What I can see

It is a simple building of the modernist movement that stands out for the human scale that is governed by and is noticeably different from the surrounding buildings. It has a modest and axis-symmetrical facade and its Art Deco decoration is very discreet. The balconies and semi-outdoor spaces create a game of light and shadow, which gives a mild plasticity to the building. The ground floor houses auxiliary spaces and each floor includes an apartment.

What I can't see

The apartment spaces are divided into 3 sections: a) reception areas on the facade, b) bedrooms and bathrooms and c) kitchen and utility areas. The building is located in the most expensive area of ​​the city. It was designed by Dimitris Fotiadis and associates. Fotiadis was a graduate of the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris and belongs to the architects who significantly modernized the urban apartment building of the interwar period.
