Set back from the northern face, so wise,
To grant the ground its fullest guise.
A space where life may stretch and grow,
Where roots of gathering softly flow.

The façade, a rhythm, a gentle beat,
Where strangers pause and voices meet.
A dance of shapes, a line, a crest,
Weaving bonds at fate’s request.
This project is a new spot in town!

On the facade, with rhythm and care,
Mirrored designs, a view to share.
Minimizing traffic, with calm in mind,
Ensuring peace for all to find.
Social spaces above, in terraces wide,
Where activity and joy will reside.
A home that offers more than just walls,
A community where connection calls.
To shield from the sun’s harsh, bright glare,
Mechanisms on facades, with precision and flair.
Sliding systems for privacy’s sake,
Tailored to each, for comfort to make.

Sustainability we cherish, in every design,
Eco-friendly materials, to help the planet shine.
Energy-efficient systems, lighting and heat,
Reducing waste, making progress neat.
Green roofs and walls, adding life to the air,
Rainwater collection, with conscious care.
Solar panels to harness the sun,
A sustainable future for everyone.
An automation system, smart and keen,
Minimizing light use in corridors serene.
Lights will turn off when not in sight,
Conserving energy, with systems so bright.
This project, a vision for all to embrace,
A blend of beauty, function, and space.
Where every detail is crafted with care,
To offer a life beyond compare

We are pleased to announce the start,
Of a social housing project, close to the heart,
In Kyrenia’s land, where dreams will grow,
A place for all, where comfort will flow.
The inner courtyard, a thoughtful space,
Designed for light, air, and grace.
Maximized circulation, access to be free,
Apartments arranged in harmony, like a symphony.
A community where connection calls.
To shield from the sun’s harsh, bright glare,
Mechanisms on facades, with precision and flair.
Sliding systems for privacy’s sake,
Tailored to each, for comfort to make.
On the ground floor, public spaces unfold,
Where people will gather, connect, and be bold.
A place for socializing, to meet and greet,
Where bonds are formed and friendships sweet.

The facade, defined by a sided axis,utilizes material changes that are carefully diluted, introducing a dialogue between the two volumes linked with the openings.

The proposed architectural concept for new residential complexes features two volumes stacked and shifted along a longitudinal axis. One volume provides shaded areas, enhancing outdoor comfort, while the other creates a welcoming entrance. Small openings on the sides are minimized, resulting in a facade with a pragmatic rhythm that avoids banality. The design also considers landscape integration and the potential for sustainable features, while carefully selecting materials to highlight the contrast between the two volumes.

The buildings flexible structural system offers future modifications. The ground floor incorporates a dynamic plaza that merge seamlessly with the cityscape and provides health complex with a half Olympic size indoor pool, art gallery, multipurpose amphitheater and exterior activity areas.
Both building blocks feature terraced areas and green spaces on the ground floor to support activities and social interactions and providing lobby/entrances for the gym, art gallery, and amphitheater. The plaza’s design includes three sloped, folding plane areas that infuse dynamism and create an engaging environment and facilitating collaborative community gatherings. To the north of the courtyard, the office block entrance showcases some of the owner’s antique car collection in the lobby, with surrounding shops, restaurants, and additional terraces and green spaces. To the south, a residential block with commercial areas, restaurants, and basement foyer is situated at the ground level and adjacent to the ramp/terraced gathering space. The plaza serves as a model of green design practices, integrating the landscape into the ground level and responding to the island’s climate, solar orientation, and traffic patterns. Users and visitors meander the plaza under shaded walkways to access various functions, including business, residential, and recreational areas. The ground-level lobby, foyer, shops, bank, coffee, and restaurant entrances are interconnected through park-like pathways that shield pedestrians from the Mediterranean harsh sun by linking all functions. The sloped/terraced green areas also encourage spontaneous encounters and dialogue, transforming the space into a forum for social engagement. The mirrored bellies of the buildings reflect these interactions, contributing to dynamic art compositions above and influencing the overall dynamic structure of the plaza

The main objective is to develop a vibrant public space that mitigates traffic congestion despite the area’s density. The design enhances users and residences indoor comfort as well their experience in and around the site and quality of life through natural lighting, natural ventilation, energy-efficient elements such as double-skin façades, and rainwater harvesting systems, all aimed at reducing energy and water consumption while addressing urban heat island effect.
