Description
The site sits at a unique location, 330 metres above sea level, and commands panoramic, unobstructed views of the coast that stretch from Pafos Airport (to the south-east) to Coral bay (to the west) and Tsada mountains to the north. The location enjoys a cooler microclimate than coastal Pafos with reduced humidity levels, due to its altitude and its natural environment. Despite its proximity to Pafos (a mere 5 minute drive to the town centre), the site enjoys a level of privacy and access to nature that is most often associated with more remote, mountainous locations. The residence is located to the northeast of Konia, and sits at an even higher altitude than the community. The residence enjoys direct and convenient access to neighbouring communities for local amenities such as bakeries, groceries, tavernas, and schools. The location also provides excellent access to the motorway directly from the roundabout at the entrance of Pafos. Therefore it is easy to access the Paphos centre, the General Hospital, and the International Airport. There is a variety of activities to be enjoyed within a 10km radius. It consists of three levels, arranged to work with the topography for easy access, security, and sustainability. Its unique architecture is inspired by the site itself, and follows the architects’ aesthetic and environmental values, to provide for a lifestyle that is at once luxurious and leisurely. The site is configured in such a way as to make the most of the sweeping views over Pafos, and at the same time utilize the topography and gradient to provide convenient and secure access. The placement of the residence allows a large garden to the front, and maintains a large part of the plot to the rear for additional landscaping to create a more private garden.

SUSTAINABILITY
1. Large windows for natural light and ventilation.
2. Awnings provide solar shading to prevent overheating in the summer.
3. Appropriate thermal insulation of the envelope for thermal comfort and a reduction in the energy required for heating and cooling.
4. Thermally insulated aluminium windows further prevent thermal losses.
5. Installation of Photovoltaic panels as well as solar thermal for on-site renewable energy generation and reduced carbon emissions.
6. High efficiency gas-burning underfloor heating, with an option for smart thermostat for better control of the heating and even more energy savings.
7. High efficiency VRV driven climate control units for effective cooling. 8. Smart lighting system with automation options for further energy savings.
