314 architecture studio sculpts lightweight residential tower on the south coast of athens
la torre de la nostalgia is shaped with reference to the form of bruno munari's 1964 falkland lamp.
314 architecture studio‘s la torre de la nostalgia is a residential building under construction in the heart of glyfada, a coastal suburb on the southern part of athens. the sculptural tower appears strikingly lightweight next to its neighboring typical blocks of flats thanks to its ferrocement construction, a composite material consisting of mortar reinforced with a metal mesh.

drawing from the form of bruno munari’s falkland lamp, the suspended column of light designed in 1964 for italian brand danese, 314 architecture studio has created a dynamic structure with curved walls and irregular openings. with a name that combines a retro nostalgia with a futuristic approach, la torre de la nostalgia is shaped with concrete (ferrocement) and white marble, which manipulate its shape and light conditions. featuring a total area of 460 sqm, the a+ energy efficient tower is divided in five apartments, all equipped with enough privacy and interiors infused with amazing sea views.
