Office for sale in Nicosia

A mixed-use development located in the Central Business district of Nicosia aspires to become a point of reference in the broader urban fabric of the capital. This ambition should not be taken as a sign of narcissism, but one of faith in the idea of otherness. Having as main features a dynamic but simple formal composition on the one hand, and a strong dialectic relationship between materials and colors on the other, the building incorporates a new type of office architecture into the existing urban structure.

The three vertical office forms, dynamically structured at the periphery of the building, with reference to the vehicle exits of the plot, give the impression they are suspended over the transparent arched base housing the shops from which they are separated by an open, low floor for the electromechanical systems. This impression of lightness is further reinforced by the contrast and alternation between perforated elements or transparent materials and compact and opaque ones in vivid colors. Modern materials widely used in office architecture, such as composite aluminum panels and fire-proof glass, are combined with wood, a material that has always been familiar to the human senses, to establish a dialogue between the scale of the building and human proportions.
