Prosfygika leoforou Alexandras, Refugee housing complex on Alexandras Avenue, Athens, Greece.
Eight parallel rectangular buildings contain 228 apartments designed in modernist style with clean lines and functional living spaces.
The Greek government constructed these buildings between 1933 and 1935 to accommodate refugees following the population exchange with Turkey in 1922.
The buildings represent a turning point in Greek urban development, marking the first large-scale public housing project in Athens.
The complex stands near the intersection of Alexandras Avenue and Kouzi Street, with public transportation stops within walking distance.
Bullet holes from the 1944 civil war conflicts between British forces and communist rebels remain visible on the building facades.
