The project is located in a very quiet and desirable neighborhood in Ayios
Athanasios, close to amenities (supermarkets, restaurants, schools, etc.) and a
short walk from the beach and ‘Dasoudi’ park along the seafront to the south and
the retail outlets and restaurants of Kolonakiou Avenue to the north. The
development affords easy access to Limassol City Centre and the highway that in
turn provides high connectivity to both airports and the rest of the island.
In the immediate vicinity, there is a large well-maintained public green space that
lies diagonally across the street to the south-east of the site ensuring uninterrupted
views towards the sea from the upper levels of the proposed development.
The project itself has arranged over three floors. The ground floor area is allocated
to a large entrance lobby, covered parking for 6No. cars (2No. per apartment) and
3No. storerooms. Controlled access points are located for both vehicular and
pedestrian entry/ exit points. The floors above generate 3No apartments. One
generously sized three-bedroom apartment per floor. The third-floor apartment has
an enhanced floor to ceiling height over the living/ dining room (3.8m) and has
exclusive use of the roof garden including a sun lounge and plunge pool.
The proposal responds directly to its context and through its orientation unlocks the
available sea views from the upper levels across the public green opposite. The
large veranda on the southeast corner of the site annexed to the living/ dining room
is a recessive element that relates to the corner situation in planning terms and
provides a notional hinge between the daytime and nighttime zones of the
apartments. The two zones are expressed and architecturally differentiated. One is
almost entirely clad in glass while the other appears solid with punctured glazed
apertures. The two are linked by a continuous ribbon-like edge provided by the
verandas and architectural projections that extends vertically to the perforated slab
over the roof garden area. The intention through the overall material and texture
palette selection is to render simplicity of form.
