Amplified expansion
The residential complex located to the east of Limassol’s historic center introduces an alternative model of horizontal development, with references to traditional Cypriot low-rise architecture. Built around a central shared garden, the project embraces the outdoor Mediterranean lifestyle and harmoniously combines residential features with the demands of hospitality.
Design Philosophy
The complex consists of four distinct buildings, two of which are currently under construction. On a plot next to the Amathos River, about half a kilometer from the waterfront, Building A includes 68 units with 11 penthouse apartments, distributed across 7 levels. Buildings B and C, with five floors each, including the roof garden, house 44 and 29 units each. All three buildings are organized around a central garden and are set within a landscaped area offering privacy to the residences while providing views of the mountains to the north and the Mediterranean to the south.
Context Integration
Drawing inspiration from the maritime environment and the undulating hills along the horizon, the construction of the central Building A descends from the highest point with gentle, flat terraces on a lush landscape. Broad horizontal bands form continuous terraces surrounding the units and extend over 300m. Large covered terraces emphasize the horizontal nature of the development, minimizing the impact of the warm Mediterranean climate.
Functional Layout
Radiating pathways guide residents through the central gardens to a terrace on the middle level, featuring richly planted spaces, seating areas, and lawns, accented with olive and citrus trees. The variety of spaces offers opportunities for entertainment, informal gatherings, and contemplation, allowing the building to function more as a catalyst for creating micro-communities than a standardized residential complex.
