The story of One Athens: From an architectural office to a luxury residential complex

The history of the architectural project One Athens begins in the 1950s, when Konstantinos Doxiadis, the pioneering Greek architect, was looking for the location of his offices in Athens. So choose a privileged spot at the foot of Lycabettus, overlooking the sea. In fact, calculating the height at which his top floor would be, he found that it would be at the same height as the Parthenon. The building consisted of four volumes that developed around a patio, the core of the complex to this day. The building he designed turned out to be a charming property of high standards. This original building consisted of four wings, which stood around a patio. This space was an important center of thought and attracted artists and thinkers from many different disciplines. Important poets and painters presented their works in front of a select audience at the Doxiadis Associates Technical Office, whose reputation as a great center of thought and pioneering creation quickly surpassed the borders of the country.

The first computer in Greece was installed in this historic building behind a glass case, a fact that underlines its pioneering character. In 2008 the complex was purchased by the company Cyclamino SA, which implemented the One Athens project with the aim of building the most modern apartments in Greece. The central idea of ​​the project was to combine the atmosphere and comforts of a five-star hotel with the comfort of a modern luxury home.

The high standard building complex One Athens offers its tenants excellent apartments, penthouses and urban maisonettes, as well as a plethora of unique amenities.
