Originally designed by the architects I. Vikelas, G. Molfesis, and A. Loizou, and completed in 1975, the 84 meters building dominates the port of Piraeus. Never entirely inhabited, only on its first three floors, the existing structure called commonly “the sleeping giant” will be transformed into offices, retail spaces, and restaurants. Moreover, the façade will be uplifted to cater to contemporary needs.

Cimolai was awarded to design and supply the external façade including 10,000 m2 of unitised curtain wall and 4,000 m2 of stick system façade at podium.
