U+B excitedly designed, with our client, a modern yet incredibly functional vacation villa on the coastline of the island of Cyprus. A balance of modern and traditional spaces, exterior shading elements, a smooth transition between inside and out, crucial site placement and orientation, and deployment of passive energy conventions culminate into this project. It’s location on the site, both horizontally and vertically, was pivotal to the design’s ability to fuse into the Mediterranean Ocean and seamlessly mesh with the luxurious landscape. The spaces are choreographed to create expansive views in combination with settings for hosting, all while maintaining an inherent visual connection to the surrounding context.
