About This Project

AP house is a dwelling located in Lakatamia area of Nicosia. It is a field area which is developing in a rapid rhythm into a residential district. The plot is rectangular and has a flat surface. The house develops in a long narrow shape in order to benefit most from the south orientation. The road is located at the north where a more private guideline is kept for the design, while on the south, the limits between exterior-interior are diffused. Yard and interior main spaces connect and work as unified spaces.

The project is developed on two levels. The ground floor hosts the open plan living and kitchen area, a playroom, two guest rooms and a pantry. At the outdoor there are sitting areas designed, a barbecue station and a large swimming pool which offers views to the main interior areas. The first floor is dedicated to the private areas. Three en-suite bedrooms, the office, and the laundry room. The bedrooms open up to big balconies and verandas which are surrounded by perforated brick panels, creating safe environments for more relaxing and private activities. Noble materials, and a palette of neutral tones were used that are sustained in all environments to generate a common and harmonic language, enhancing the spaces.
