The Onassis Stegi boasts 18,000 sq. m. of interior space
The foundations of the Onassis Stegi were laid in Athens in 2004. The construction of the building was exclusively funded and overseen by the Onassis Foundation. The Onassis Stegi was built on a privately-owned 3,000 sq. m. plot on Syngrou Avenue, which is bounded by four roads and covers an entire city block. The Onassis Stegi boasts 18,000 sq. m. of interior space.
A new architectural study was drawn up for the interior of the two amphitheaters. The theater lighting in both auditoria was designed by James Morse from the London-based Light & Design Associates company, while the architectural lighting for the entire building was redesigned by Eleftheria Deko & Associates. The building includes two main auditoria, seating 880 and 220 respectively, which are suited to a wide range of events including theater and dance performances, concerts, film screenings (multimedia, virtual reality), lectures and conferences. The top storey is home to the restaurant, which extends out onto the rooftop terrace during the summer months and offers breathtaking views of the Acropolis, the Philopappos monument, Lycabettus and the Saronic gulf.
