Spell Rides Residence Agricultural





Stavrides residence, agricultural strongholds located in Nicosia, Cyprus, was designed by Armeftis & Associates. The basic concept is derived from the need for a contemporary building in a dialogue that corresponds to the vernacular "makrinari" (a building with all the functions contained in a volume longitudinal) and Mesaoria plains. The building is divided into two linear functions on each floor with the private sector at the top and the public at the bottom.

The structure was placed along the highway that will take place across the spectrum from a distance. The fundamental objective was to administer the grant of shadows and air flow, thus maximizing the outdoor activity, the use of its inhabitants. The covered terrace on the south side is the main feature of the house, allowing the flow of fresh wind in the west to filter through.
