Residential development in Pegia

Here's something fresh! These were rendered yesterday, and posted today by Andy's request. This is a development of 36 housing units. They're rather rough renders. We focused on producing the drawings for each one so that we could apply for planning permission within our timeframe.

This is an overview. There are two roads which give access through the site to the houses, and for each road elevation there is some repetition in the buildings.
Here's a coser one, showing some materiality.
This is a bit more refined, and a great view in my opinion. Its at the end of one of the road, and theres a closer proximity of the houses. On the right is a quick attempt at a horizon using a spherical backdrop and a procedural sky.
Don't have time to write about the strategy or the design on this one. Maybe in a few months, with a few drawings.

Universal housing

This proposal was prepared for a developer from London, for a site in Kato Paphos. It comprises of about 70 housing units, arranged around large outdoor areas.


The site is at the base of a rock cliff, with the opposite side facing west to the sea. The units are facing west, as well as focusing toward the center of the site. There, they surround the outdoor communal areas. After the strategy was developed, we started a working model. The strategy was tweaked considerably over the first few weeks.


Finally, there are 4 outdoor areas. On the image below, from left to right: the garden, the sqare, the park, and the swimming pool. The idea is that they correspond to traditional socializing places of the island: a private house yard/garden, a village/town square, a wooded area/forest, and the beach.

The orange shows an elevated promenade. It overlooks all the central communal areas and runs accross the whole site.

Finishing the model, we went into a bot more detail, designed the elevations of the buildings, and added more variety to the materiality of the scheme. Communal facilities, shops and a restaurant are placed near the square.
