The Blue Condominium of Exarcheia, Modernist apartment building in Exarcheia, Greece

The Blue Condominium consists of two connected six-floor buildings featuring separate entrances, a shared roof, and 37 residential units at the intersection of Zaimi and Stournari streets.

Constructed in 1932 by architect Kyriakos Panagiotakos, the building served as headquarters for counterintelligence organization Midas 614 during World War II and the Metaxas dictatorship.

The structure received recognition from Le Corbusier during his visit for the International Congress of Modern Architecture, establishing its importance in architectural developments.

The building includes dedicated storage spaces, former maid quarters outside apartments, and imported electric kitchen appliances from Switzerland, reflecting 1930s residential innovations.

During the Dekemvriana events of December 1944, the building endured a bombing that damaged three lower floors, leaving bullet marks still visible on its facade.
