_restoration of a residence in Pera Pedi

This is a ground floor traditional building on semi-mountainous Cyprus. The building program of the project required the restoration and extension of the building into a contemporary house unit. Thus, the existing buildings were fully restored, keeping untouched their historicity and authenticity. All the changes and additions, were made in order to protect and promote the traditional building, without mimicry, and with the morphological distinction of the new with the old, in order not to overlap morphologically the existing restored sections. The added new unit is consisted of a simple cubic form and it is coated with a “neutral” white color, in order to highlight the traditional building. Most of the frames were preserved, while all the new that were used, were replicas of the original.
