Overlooking the Olympic Stadium, "Oxygen" is an innovative residential development which is the first residential building of its type with an international sustainability certification in Greece that houses 32 residences.
Oxygen is the fundamental element of nature that defines our quality of life.
Similarly, the design of the building aims to integrate a holistic architectural approach addressing health and wellness, bioclimatic innovation, eco-friendly materials, construction methods, and water and waste management.

The design of the building is inspired by nature’s fundamental elements—water, earth, and sky. The undulating facades create green spaces on the balconies while providing separation between residences. The "Y"-shaped columns resemble tree trunks, emphasizing the building’s sustainable ethos.
Large glass openings, private gardens on the ground floor, and generous balconies with planters on the upper floors contribute to enhanced quality of life and underscore the sustainable design. Small vegetable gardens on the balconies enable residents to grow their own herbs for culinary use.
Special attention was given to the building’s entrance. The two-story height of the piloti symbolically and practically represents the transition from the busy outside world to the warmth of home.
The landscape architecture incorporates circular elements and patterns that make references to the Olympic rings and the nearby Olympic Stadium.
The residences feature functional spaces with warm colors and textures, ample storage solutions, and ergonomic kitchens
Oxygen is designed to offer residents the opportunity for an eco-friendly lifestyle, a sense of escape, and a true refuge from the intensity of everyday life.
Provisions for electric vehicle charging at each parking space, options for recycling and composting, and easy monitoring of household consumption through specialised systems and applications are among the sustainability strategies that encourage residents to embrace a modern ecological lifestyle.
All apartments are equipped with smart home technology, including smart lighting, security shutters, wake-up/sleep scenarios, departure/arrival modes, voice commands, and smart switches.
A special outdoor covered gym exclusively for residents, surrounded by greenery and suitable for year-round use was designed instead of the typically underused spaces of the piloti.
