The first abroad housing project of GVDS, Limasol Residence and

Hotel Project is located in Limasol which is a coastal town at South

Cyprus. Project is situated in coastal region where old industrial buildings

and areas, which are inappropriate for qualified-use, needed to enliven

touristically as a result of many transformations. It will lead like a

pioneer about becoming the new attraction center where construction

and recreation projects will occur.

The design achieves a maximum panoramic view for all the apartments,

by placing two apartment per each floor plan. That is in addition to using

a structural system that employs the support of a central core to the

cantilevered beams and floors. That way no load bearing elements are

needed in the facade. The all-around glazed facades of the apartments

can be fully opened making them into indoor/outdoor spaces.

The result is a highly sculptural building volume, that clearly shows its

typology and creates its own outdoor spaces as lush terraces within the

spiral stacking of the micro apartments. Like the studio units also the

terrace spaces have double height, allowing big plants to grow within

the volume of the tower and generating both sun lit and shadowy places

to sit outside. Since the balcony spaces are part of the volume they offer

privacy and place for retreatment; nice features in this lively inner-city

neighborhood.
