Project overview

This private residence takes advantage of its unique location in the Engomi residential suburb, to open up to serene views towards the Pentadaktylos Mountain range to the north, and the Morfou bay to the west. All four sides of the plot being exposed to view, the project assumes a pavilion typology where a linear, box like geometry is transformed through the generation of a series of microenvironments through the juxtaposition of the formally expressive first floor element, over the ground floor

Project history

The project took on its particular pavilion like typology after much consideration from the clients with regards to openness, privacy and views. Returning to Cyprus after years spent in the UAE, the Client decided to opt for an open ground floor, allowing to maximize the inside-outside relation that the Cyprus climate offers. Basement and upper level volumes are kept much more private with solid elements and privacy screens. As series of modulations to the volumes and skin elements, allow for the generation of a series of micro environments, which provide for a rich residential experience.
