CODE No: 6579 This project is under construction.The covered area is +/- 2.640m2 and the plot area +/- 3.000m2. The distinctive shape of the building is a response to the shape of the plot and its prime location being at a crossroad of two main commercial streets. By placing all supporting uses to the North it allows panoramic views towards the city centre and the sea. At the centre of the building a 3m gap runs through the building creating stepped terraces and at the same time hanging gardens which are accessible and visible from the offices. The outer layer of the building is a three dimensional combination of glazing, thermal panels, shading panels, horizontal and vertical movable panels. All these elements are held together by the regular and identical strong horizontal concrete floors which protrude 1m beyond the glazing skin. Looking for a language to accommodate the various environmental needs and retain a flexible design, we turned to a familiar aesthetic language used on public and domestic buildings in Cyprus in the 60s and early 70s. During this period, architects, strongly influenced by the international modern movement, were expressing the horizontal structure of their buildings by protruding slightly the floors and arranging the various elements, walls, windows, shading devices from floor to floor according to the internal arrangements. This approach adopted and expanded gave us a solution to the various needs and at the same time continuity to the local architectural expression.
The open plan of the office space together with the movable glazing/thermal panels on the perimeter walls allow for various layouts to fit any need of the end user, without interfering on the elevations. The central terrace ensures that no internal position is more than 8 meters away from natural air and light and at the same time acts as a cooling area during the long summer months. All the auxiliary uses are positioned on the North side of the building together with the vertical movement within the building, leaving free all the available views towards the town and the sea. On the roof a number of mechanical equipment are positioned behind screens on the North side and the rest of the roof is used as a communal client entertainment facility with facilities for the wellbeing of the employees. Interchangeable thermal panels and glazing allows different office layouts on each floor and easy change of layout as needs change.
The changing weather conditions throughout the year, and the various positions of the sun during both the summer and winter days posed a serious architectural challenge. The innovative idea of the double skin facade handles the challenges perfectly, allocating a very flexible interior design which could change at any given moment without essentially affecting the exterior architecture, and at the same time, keeps all maintenance costs to the minimum.
