The Peach Building . Print

A beautiful specimen of Modernist architecture built between the two World Wars. It is situated at the foot of Mount Lycabettus, next to Hadrian’s Water Reservoir. For some years I frequented the bar directly opposite this building. The bar is no longer there. I must admit that I am a big fan of these types of housing projects that populated Athens around that time. Buildings like this one showed the first signs of modern, progressive and utilitarian thinking in Athenian society.
