What I can see
The volumes of the building have strong plasticity, thanks to the recesses and projections of the balconies and the large openings on both sides. The sidewalls are dominated by concrete and balconies.
What I can't see
The work of Alexandros Tombazis and Dimitris Diamantopoulos is very innovative and bold for its time. This apartment complex is heavily influenced by Japanese brutalism and metabolism. It consists of 43 apartments with 3 to 6 rooms and underground parking.
