House 0605 Nicosia

Designed by Simpraxis Architects, this private property is to die for.This house was designed for a young trendy couple and their daughter. As a half plot site, allowing two distinct residences that are constructed in the same plot and share a wall, allowing a 10 foot set back on the plot's periphery.

Sitting between 1000-3000 sqrft, this house allows the ground floor to have a living kitchen and circulation areas that surrounds the outside courtyard on three sides. This allows the visual contact and movement between the different spaces, the kitchen protrudes into the yard, thus creating a communal center. The courtyard is also closed by the upper floor, which contains the main bedrooms. These overhang bedrooms allow a peripheral shading around the kitchen, creating a more effective relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.
