Contemporary design with the cosiness of an “at home” feeling

A slender residential building in the central Athens neighbourhood of Ilissia — two- to four-bedroom apartments in a condominium project, with penthouses opening onto rooftop terraces and garden apartments with private green areas.

Ranging between 90 and 180 m², all apartments combine contemporary design with warmth. Ample ancillary spaces — storage and parking in the basement — secure the quality of life of the micro-location.
