The site is in Deftera, Nicosia. This specific site is an agricultural land where by planning you are allowed to build only one house. A very hilly, dry terrain all year round characterizes the plot.

Studying the site we decided that the best position to put the house was on the very top of hill, utilizing the views. As mentioned before the house is positioned on the top of the hill where is naturally becoming a V-shape Corner. Following the plot we marked out a V-shape plan, where all the functions were accommodated in this plan. The two “legs” of the plan accommodates on one site the public functions of the family i.e. living room, dining room and kitchen, on the other one (private) are the three main bedrooms. The two are connected together with a glass bridge. This very amphitheatrically v-shape configuration allows us to accommodate all the public outdoor spaces as swimming pool and barbeque areas in this naturally created cavity.

The fact that the whole building is lifted up gives design flexibility. The design introduction of an indoor garden in the basement provides light to the spaces underneath (office space, games room, guest house) in such a way that they are not secondary rooms any more. Actually these rooms become very evocative spaces as they are protected from the intensive heat of the sun.
