History
Located at No 36 Amalias Avenue in the centre of Athens Amalias 36 is widely known as the Lykiardopulo Building. It was built by the head of the family, Nicholas D Lykiardopulo, between 1926 and 1932 and designed by Konstantinos Kyriakidis, an architect from Constantinople. The building’s modernist design combines features of the French Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Art Deco styles.
At the time of the construction of the building there was considerable opposition to its size and height. It was referred to as a skyscraper which obscured the eastern vista of the Acropolis. During the German Occupation of Greece in the 1940s the family provided a much needed soup kitchen to help those that were unable to feed themselves while at the same time managing to conceal a number of wanted persons from the Gestapo.
In 2008 the Lykiardopulo family began the task of restoring the building, led by Nicholas F Lykiardopulo who shares the same name as his great-grandfather who built Amalias 36. A great effort was made to preserve the remaining original internal features and decorations of the building. It is therefore one of the few buildings left in Athens in which one can see the beauty of the design of the inter-war period, high ceilings, original plasterwork, fireplaces and other decorations.
A substantial part of the renovation of Amalias 36 is now complete and, since 2009 the building has hosted a large number of events. The spaces are available for all manner of occasions including exhibitions, official occasions and parties. The Image Gallery, which is based in the building, organises its own art and photography exhibitions, in between the other events.
