The form of the residence is generated by the interrelation between its three constituent architectural elements.
The first of these elements is a permeable white wall which forms the boundary to the street as well as the threshold from the city to the private realm of the residence. This element resonates references from the traditional Cypriot Architecture, where the street scape is formed by the continuity of solid elevations. This comes as a contrast to the prevailing approach in the contemporary Cypriot cities, which consist of fragmented urban environments with no coherence.
The L-shaped ground floor, which frames the yard, constitutes the second architectural element. Materially it consists of fair-faced concrete walls and large sliding glass doors, which allow smooth continuity between the interior spaces and the yard. Each of the three main areas of the ground floor (living room, dining room and kitchen) has a different relation to the yard.
Finally, the third architectural element is the compact form of the first floor, which covers only the north side of the building, contributing to the relaxed experience of the yard.
