Apartment building at Asyrmatos

Region around Filopappou Hill, 1967

Architect
Elli Vassilikioti (1923-)



This is a remarkable apartment building for low-income residents of the period designed by architect Elli Vasilikioti within the framework of studies for the Housing Service of the Ministry of Public Works. The complex consists of eight shops and 55 apartments with independent entrances off corridors along the façade, that are arranged on four floors.
The functional organisation of the building and its structural system are expressed with honesty and stylistic clarity in the treatment of the facades.
There is an interesting adaptation of the building to the special nature of the contoured lot and the steep slope of Filopappou Hill. The central part of the second level became a large balcony with a splendid view of the sea, access to which is over a bridge from the ring road around Filopappou.
