Designed and procured for a site in the heart of Paphos, next to a busy central road, the 2-storey residence has an open plan living area and study at ground floor, and two en-suite bedrooms at first-floor level configured around a veranda.
The marble-clad mass creates a three-dimensional play of the material and adds variation and scale to the otherwise solid, protective facades. The residence is inward-facing, in order to maximize the residents’ privacy and comfort, even when using the external areas.
