The three buildings that make up the group of apartments called Academia are situated in a prime location near a developed parade of offices and shops behind the Nicosia Conference Center. The buildings are dynamically interlinked through their external shapes; their architectural parts combine in hierarchical harmony. The disposition of the building is an expression of its geometric mass. Its scale is maintained through the selection of materials and the arrangement of both warm and cool colours on the building facade, which demonstrates respect for the surrounding area.
The complex forms a powerful typological statement that permits a dialogue with the urban framework and functions as a “mediating link” between the commercial and residential zones. The design potential of the large building plot permitted the creative disposition of the Academia floor plan, which features six apartments of a variety of types distributed throughout three floors.
