The new Piraeus tower presents symbolically modern lighthouse of the harbor, a pile of containers pulsing on the façade with the calmed rhythm of a sea wave…
The idea was presenting this building as a gentle giant covered with a waving white mask. It doesn’t move physically, but changes its face thanks to lights and shadows. By daylight it is its structure that dominates and by night the tower is recognizable by its milky light that shines from boxes on all sides.
