bjarke ingels group reveals 'park rise' for athens coastal masterplan

park rise: a stepping residential tower at ellinikon

As part of Greece‘s ambitious Ellinikon coastal masterplan, Bjarke Ingels Group‘s stepping residential tower Park Rise is set to become a landmark addition to the skyline of Athens. Standing tall as the centerpiece of the Little Athens neighborhood, this 50-meter structure is imagined as a thoughtfully crafted statement piece, bringing modern living to the coast and framing sweeping Grecian vistas. Park Rise will introduce 88 one- to five-bedroom luxury residences. Partnering with prominent Greek interior design firms, residents can co-create their ideal space. Interiors stand as canvases backdropped by sea, park, and mountain views. Oakwood floors and neutral tones complement the full-height walls of glass.

The architects top the tower with penthouses which each open out onto a private swimming pools, transforming the homes into personal, resort-style oases. Beyond the residences themselves, Park Rise embraces the vibrant tapestry of the surrounding Little Athens — a residential section of the larger Ellinikon masterplan. Once built, this community will offer a range of retail, office, and hospitality options, all woven together by lush greenery and accessible connectivity.
