Appartement à vendre à Nicosie

At the centre of Nicosia , facing the medieval walls and the moat that enclose the old part of the city, the building rises 17th floors above ground. The 10.000- square metres building includes retail spaces, offices and apartments.

On the south façade, large planting areas on each floor run the length of the building so as to create a vertical green screen modulating the sunlight that reaches the interior of the apartments. A natural brise soleil protects the apartments during the summer months, while during the winter months, when the plants shed their leaves, it allows as much sunlight as possible to reach the interior of the apartments.

The massive concrete walls on the east-west elevation are negated by numerous perforations, an ethereal reference to the pixels of a highly enlarged image on a computer screen. The perforations are sometimes overflown by vegetation from the internal gardens and at other times act as openings to the rooms behind.

On the north elevation large balconies open up the building to the view of the medieval city and allows the occupants to enjoy the temperate climate of the island.
