Two mosaic WATERFALLS plunge from above to establish the entrance to this building. They are made of glowing white mosaics that reflect the sunlight and spread life, as does the whole building, which in respect to its environmentally - friendly character is painted green.
On the second façade of the building two spheres stand in perfect balance with each other. The one DERIVES from the earth, DRESSED in white mosaics, while the other NUDE is hanging directly above the first one, from a wire, off a cross section symbol protruding out of the building. Here the balconies have an elliptical shape in order to enclose these two forms of LIFE. Global coexistence. Internally, a black mosaic floor spreads like a carpet, while three stripped bare trees from the disappearing Amazon stand along the entrance. The particularly artistic nature of this building and its symbolisms, reflect to the contemporary rejuvenation of the surrounding area with its art galleries and a MOSAIC of different people, ideas and views.
