The Unseen Green in Limassol, Cyprus by Constantinos Kalisperas Architectural StudioNovember 3rd, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Constantinos Kalisperas Architectural Studio The design is based on the creation of a small hybrid “Green Garden” that interconnects both the interior and exterior of the house. This new proposed green space, has the ability to host the social activities of the owners in a more causal manner, within the shelter provided by the overwhelming plantation. Plants are used as a “filtering” tool for the external surrounding ‘noise’ and sunlight, providing a great sense of privacy and tranquility.

Emphasis is given on the physical / visual connection of the kitchen that is redesigned to the family’s lifestyle needs, providing services to the exterior green space.

Within the new green space, a sitting / cooking zone, suspended below ground level is proposed, allowing for a more casual and intrepid spatial, cooking experience.

The new programme unifies under the shelter of the proposed metal ‘ribs’ and the greenery that wraps around them, generating a green “curtain” that provides shelter, privacy and tranquility from the busy City noise.
