MINION and DANILOF light + perception studio received a commendation for lighting at this year’s Grail Awards.

The façades of the new landmark in the heart of Athens stood out for their exemplary balance between lighting and architecture, avoiding any unnecessary waste of energy, light, or materials.

The lighting approach, embracing a “less is more” philosophy, uses white static illumination to highlight each aluminum frame through a consistent, repeating pattern. This subtly emphasizes the depth and colors of the façade. The result is particularly striking at night, giving the building a dynamic presence and significantly contributing to the enhancement of Omonia Square’s nighttime urban landscape.
