1 Renovation (2018)-ccai
Renovating an old house next to the beach
might be a challenge but at the same time an
exciting task. The owner after purchasing the
property in Larnaca contacted the office in
order to have a complete renovation exterior,
interior as well as the garden facing the beach
front. The aim for this project was to create
a contemporary volumetric composition by
keeping the existing main shape as well as
adding new elements and subtracting old
once to facilitate all the users’ needs and
wants. For the exterior of the building selected
areas where covered with brick tiles and all
the exterior openings were replaced with a
new aluminium slim series able to withstand the
climatic changes by the sea.
The interior space was completely transformed
by removing all the elements blocking the sea
view and a common space including the living
room, kitchen and dining area is united. The
office was in charge in designing all the fixed
furniture such as the kitchen, the kitchen island,
the tv/ fireplace unit as well as the staircase.
The lighting was custom made to the project as
well as all the bathrooms where renovated. The
rest of the soft furniture’s were selected by the
design team. The first floor was also completely
renovated and the master bedroom was
positioned at the most premium location facing
the sea with an added balcony form maximum
experience. Within the master bedroom an
open walking closet was designed with custom
made furniture dividing the sleeping from the
clothing areas able to include a tv as well as
some additional storage.
