House in Limassol II

A "Γ" shaped frame, which includes the additions and part of the existing building unifies visually the whole residence, while is the main morphological characteristic. On the staircase side (which is open to the interior), many square openings were made, which due to their orientation, allow the entry of solar energy during the winter months in order to heat the building. At the same time, the interior design and decoration of the proposed spaces, follows the overall styling, aiming to a harmonious analogy of the outside to the inside. As part of the energy upgrade of the dwelling the addition of external insulation (thermoprosopsis) was included, along with the complete replacement of doors and windows with others with thermal insulation.
