Spaces face to the best orientation
There are horizontal cantilevers that protect the glazed surfaces from the summer sun but are calculated so that the winter sun can penetrate them.
All spaces face to the best orientation, depending on their use. For example, the bedrooms are located on the first floor and they all have west facing windows to enable for the cool summer night breezes of the Nicosia area to penetrate. Most rooms are equipped with ceiling fans to reduce the dependency on air-conditioning.
There is a rain water collecting system that drives the water from the roofs into a cistern under the garage space. There are double exterior walls with massive insulation, photovoltaics for reducing the need to import electricity from the network and many more bioclimatic features.
One main feature of this residence is its core which is a double-height space and houses the library of the family. The rest of the spaces evolve naturally around the library, like a 3D spiral.
