A new mixed-used landmark building is coming to the city-centre of Paphos, in close proximity to the old town of Paphos. The building consist of a basement level, shops and offices on the ground floor and three stories of apartments with total covered area of appr. 1000m2.

The proposed structure is reinforced concrete to meet both the strict seismic requirement of Cyprus as well as the architectural design intent of exposed concrete walls in combination with brick perforated facade to express the local historic architecture.

The cocnrete cores and and shear walls procide stability as well as a robust load path for the vertical loads. Strategically placed openings on the slabs allow natural light to enter the lower levels during the day from the large glazed facade, despite its closed proximity to adjacent multi-story buildings.

The project is fully BIM coordinated.
