KREON 88
Athens, Greece
KREON 88, located in the pulsating center of Athens stands as a modern homage to the rich tapestry of Athens’ history, articulated through its minimalist design and white-toned palette, reminiscent of Greece’s urban and rural architectural splendors.
At KREON 88, each element echoes our commitment to timeless aesthetics and functionality. The building’s minimal volume, adorned in classic materials of pristine white and glass, creates a serene yet sophisticated urban retreat. Our approach celebrates simplicity and longevity, ensuring that KREON 88 remains an iconic part of Athens’ skyline.
Sustainability is at the heart of KREON 88. Incorporating state-of-the-art technologies for optimal energy efficiency, our design meticulously considers the solar path and shading, tailored to Greece’s warm climate. This thoughtful orientation, coupled with lush landscaping, cultivates a natural, refreshing ambiance upon entering the premises.
Inside, KREON 88 marries functionality with aesthetics, offering residents unrivaled living quality. Each apartment is a private sanctuary, boasting unobstructed city views in every direction. This harmonious balance of intimacy and community is further enriched by a diverse mix of apartment sizes, fostering a neighborhood-like atmosphere while preserving individual privacy.
Inspired by the principles of simplicity and timelessness, KREON 88’s design features clean lines, exceptional artificial lighting, and striking horizontal elements that lend an air of grandeur. This modern architectural style not only complements but also enhances Athens’ urban landscape, standing out subtly yet significantly among its neighbors.
Designing KREON 88 was a challenge of maximizing functional living space within a compact plot, especially with limited exposure due to its urban setting. By focusing on the southern and western orientations, we ensured that each apartment enjoys city views while being sheltered from the intense summer sun.
KREON 88 is a reflection of PLINTHOS Architects’ ethos: creating spaces that resonate with the urban fabric of Athens while embracing modernity. It’s a space that never ages, appealing to young, dynamic residents who seek a blend of functional living and high-end modern aesthetics in the heart of one of the world’s most historic cities.
