The incessant quest for new housing typologies that respond to the ever-changing social needs, the climatic conditions and the vital issue of energy has urged us to seek innovative living proposals. The  project endeavors to explore a new housing typology, one that will eventually enrich housing options currently on hand.






The proposed project is situated in upcoming area of Nicosia, within walking distance from Athalassa National park and in close proximity to the University of Cyprus, the General Hospital and the Mall of Cyprus while reaping the benefits of a nice open field area in the outskirts of Yeri.  The project consists of 10 independent houses, with each house claiming distinct individuality through the use of different materials.
Two main parameters have determined the design which carefully ‘sculpts’ spaces and structures: provision of substantial open space for outdoor activities, and maximum Southern exposure. This specific objective has prompted the introduction of a system of skylights that provide all spaces with controlled South light and cross ventilation.  The system also succeeds in offering covered and uncovered outdoor spaces across all levels, culminating to a sculpted ‘emancipated’ roof garden with unobstructed view.
