With an accent on the communal gardens, the architecture celebrates a sophisticated interaction between the built environment and nature. 

The project is set on the border of the municipalities of Strovolos and Tseri. The topography of the site, a steady east-west incline, and the potential offered by its adjacency to a public park, led to the creation of a linear master-plan of eight in-line properties configured as stepped terraces. The buildings generate zones of varying degrees of proximity or openness that promote new modes of urban cohabitation.

This allows for the first-, second- and third-floor apartments facing the street to be set farther back from the street and creates greater privacy for the garden apartment.
