Panels of frosted glass are used also on the inside of each property, on each wall, and by the use of hidden lights inside of them it gives the feeling of natural light penetrating the residence. Therefore, it creates multiple readings of spatial relationships and their connections. It allows a flexibility in the organization of the composition. The connection between the space of two separate levels/planes result not only in a visual increase of the size of spaces but also produces ambiguous spatial relationships: the spatial zones are differentiated and at the same time combined, united.

Consequently, transparency as a means bears the possibility of optical spatial groupings. Arcs decorating the facades of the building play also an essential role to the aesthetics of the overall, creating a more relaxing and welcoming environment, as a reminiscent of the past while being conteporary as well. The building is composed by 5 different properties (one connected to the neoclassical building), all of them with a great view as the building is oriented towards Lycabettus hill, one of the most iconic sight-seeings in the city of Athens.
