In a northern suburb of Athens (Agios Stefanos) and on the national road, there is a complex of offices of a well-known company, with a total area of 10,000sqm. Unlike most buildings on the highway, these two buildings have a curved shape, are not parallel to the street, and are mostly made of special thermal insulating glass (okalux). The southwest facades are protected by perforated aluminum blinds. The administration building consists of 2 parts, one rectanglular and one cylindrical. The three-storey intermediate gap is illuminated by mirrors, which reflect sunlight during the day, and the light of headlights at night. On both sides of the gap are offices, laboratories and administration offices.
The design is from the architects Maria Kokkinou, Andreas Kourkoulas, Antonia Panou, Katerina Papandreou and Giorgos Nikolopoulos.
