The Lighthouse

The SNFCC Lighthouse sits on top of the new home of the Greek National Opera, protected by the “Magic Carpet,” an energy-producing canopy made of solar panels spanning 2.5 acres.

Like every lighthouse, the SNFCC Lighthouse is encased in glass, offering panoramic views of Athens, Piraeus and the Saronic Gulf, as well as direct visual connection to the Acropolis hill. Surrounding this glass space, the Lighthouse offers an open-air space, sheltered by the canopy.
