The starting point of the design was the intention of the architects to take advantage of the exceptional climate of Cyprus in order to remove the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space and turn the movement in space into an experience in which the outdoor surfaces are an extension of the interior.
The axes of motion are converted into the design axes of the building. From the street’s point of view, the linear movement of the visitor turns into the backbone on which the house is built.
The swimming pool goes beyond the conventional limits of its use as an object of recreation but is integrated as an active part of the architectural composition. Its elongated shape possibly resembles a river, in a clear dialogue with the landscape and flatters and highlights the long dynamic lines of the building. It welcomes the visitor from the point of entry into the house and immediately emphasizes its presence as the conceptual axis of symmetry of the building.
The sustainability of the design is achieved with the extended use of green roofs throughout the building. The shape of the design and its orientation provide a cross ventilation both on the ground floor and on the first floor.
The master bedroom hovers above the junction of the 2 units as the unifying symbol of the house: the ambassador of the owners even in their absence and a unique experience. The gaze after waking up in the morning extends over the pool to the sky reflected in it.
They contribute to the energy performance of the house while at the same time reducing its carbon footprint. Furthermore, the design of the house, its shape and its orientation provide a cross ventilation/natural air movement both on the ground floor and on the first floor.
