Athens Tower 1, Office building in Ampelokipoi, Greece
Athens Tower 1 rises 103 meters with 28 floors on Mesogeion Avenue, featuring glass curtains framed by aluminum and a central staircase flanked by offices.
The construction started in 1968 after height restrictions were lifted in Athens, making it the first major skyscraper project in the city when completed in 1971.
The tower marked a significant change in Greek architecture by introducing International Style design principles and mixed construction methods to the Mediterranean landscape.
The structure contains 59 elevators, three basement levels for parking, and numerous office spaces occupied by major companies like Interamerican and Alpha Bank.
The building incorporates plastic foundations developed by Aristarchos Oikonomou that function as dampers, demonstrating advanced engineering solutions for seismic stability.
