The project deals with an underground new wing on the site of the main neoclassical building of the Academy of Athens. The new building contains 28 double offices, a large meeting room, with the necessary service rooms as well as a covered parking area for 45 vehicles. All spaces are lighted through a south-orientated arcade. The whole structure is totally invisible from the main streets surrounding the Academy.
