Year: 2003
Customer: DEPOS SA

Lycabettus Hill is a characteristic area of Athens. Pines cover most of the hill. It consists of a dense network of routes and includes a variety of activities.

In the Redevelopment Study for the Hill, a detailed mapping and inventory of the existing situation was performed. The analysis included the use of routes, sitting areas, buildings and the overall character of the landscape and the elements that compose it.
Based on all the above, various interventions such as equipment and path maintenance, signage, wall corrections etc., were proposed.

The study took also into account the characteristics of the wider area, the functional and aesthetic requirements associated with the vegetation and the urban landscape of the city and finally the economic data. The study also aimed to ‘highlight’ the areas of attention and monuments by restoring the existing vegetation with species of the Greek flora.
