The development area is located on the north High Hills of the city with approximately 200m above sea level that allows magnificent views in all directions.
The geometric form of the villas is designed through research to meld with the dynamism of the topography and coalesce into the landscape. An architectural approach to distinct a unique structure with a strong sense of identity and character. It has a highly expressive, sculptural quality, infused with a sense of light and space.
The views are the driving forces of each house shape and design offers long panoramic views internally and engages with the surrounding landscape. Towards south the user will enjoy sea views and views of the cosmopolitan town of Limassol. In north direction one can enjoy picturesque mountain and landscape views.
The buildings are positioned and following the latitudinal axis of the plot at the very edge of the ground slope to take framed views to the landscape and bring the sunlight altogether. The geometry design of the specially progressed facade set the sights and creating spaces with visual continuity through elongated openings glazing walls.
The houses are divided in two sections: on one side, is the organized building volumes that mange the everyday internal functionality and social areas. On the other side, is the parking and storage that are is hidden below the ground which gives an interesting approach and mystery with the front view gates.
