This luxurious apartment building is a rare example of interwar buildings, where strong neoclassical features are sustained. The architect harmonized neoclassicism with the new functional needs and construction trends; therefore he expressed the so-called “rationalist purification” of neoclassicism, without the building losing its neoclassical aesthetics. An architectural characteristic that refers to the design’s “Greekness” is the marble cladding.
It was designed by Vassilios Kouremenos, who was a graduate of the French Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
