这座房子建在塞浦路斯尼科西亚一个高密度难民安置点的废旧建筑的痕迹上。它位于现有的两道隔墙之间，在一块狭窄的土地上（189平方米）。塞浦路斯的难民营是在1974年土耳其入侵的夏天后不久建立的，为因战争而被迫离开家园的希腊裔塞浦路斯难民提供临时住所。今天，这些地方有着被遗弃和腐烂的痕迹，更像是城市的缝隙，打断了城市的连续性。适用于这些地方的限制性建筑条例表明了一种复杂的状况，提出了关于他们重新适应当代住宅生活方式的问题。
The house is built on the traces of a ruined building in a high-density refugee settlement in Nicosia, Cyprus. It is situated between two existing partition walls on a narrow land (189 m²). The Cypriot refugee camps were erected shortly after the summer of the Turkish invasion in 1974, to provide temporary accommodation for the Greek-Cypriot refugees who were forced to leave their homes because of the war. Today, these sites bear the signs of abandonment and decay and are more like urban crevices interrupting the continuity of the city. The restrictive building regulations that are applied in these sites, indicate a complex condition raising questions regarding their readjustment to the contemporary ways of residential living.
新房子是为了满足一个年轻的四口之家的住房需求而建造的。这个家庭的男人从他的祖父那里继承了老房子。预算是有限的。建筑方案的主要思想是围绕边界和中间空间的概念展开的。我们在这里提出的，是一个垂直的边界，在现有的住宅群前面有1.3米的距离。这是一堵6.3米高的裸露的钢筋混凝土墙，其表皮上刻有孔洞，由穿孔金属表面覆盖。
The new house is constructed to accommodate the housing needs of a young family of four. The man of the family inherited the old house from his grandfather. The budget was limited. The main idea of the architectural proposal is developed around the notions of boundary and intermediate space. What we propose here, is a vertical boundary that stands at a distance of 1.3 meters in front of the existing housing complex. This is a 6.3 meters high wall of exposed reinforced concrete, carved with holes in its skin which are covered by perforated metal surfaces.
墙的空白部分和结构部分之间的成功互动，有目的地控制了房屋内的光线通过，并提供了一定程度的隐私和安全，交叉通风，以及各种光学逃逸。建筑和现有的城市景观之间形成了一种开放的对话，提供了广泛的空间和视觉条件：有时它框定和突出了难民营特定的日常生活的时刻，它强调了内向的需要，而有时它以戏剧的方式投射出家庭生活的快照。
The successful interplay between the blank and structured parts of the wall purposefully controls the passage of light inside the house and offers levels of privacy and security, cross ventilation, and a variety of optical escapes. An open dialogue is developed between the building and the existing urban landscape that offers a vast range of spatial and visual conditions: sometimes it frames and highlights moments from the particular everyday life of the refugee camp, it underlines the need for introversion while sometimes it projects snapshots from the family lived in a theatrical way.
在主楼和垂直墙之间，产生了小院子和露台，房子的主要空间在这里得到了扩展。在内部，建议的空间是根据垂直墙和一个庭院组织的，这个庭院从地面的后面进入，最后到达房子的中心。在房子的核心，通过垂直雕刻，质量被从建筑的体积中移除。通过这种方式，我们实现了两层楼之间的视觉交流，提供了丰富的日光，以及对天空的框定。在这个空白空间的中心，种植了一棵胶泥树，它被一个圆形的座位面所框住，将其变成家庭成员之间聚会和交流的重要场所。
Between the main building and the vertical wall, small courtyards and terraces are generated, where the main spaces of the house are extended. Internally, the proposed spaces are organized in relation to the vertical wall and a courtyard that enters from the back of the ground level to end up in the center of the house. At the core of the house, mass was removed from the volume of the building by vertically carving it. In this way, we achieve visual communication between the two floors, the provision of abundant daylight, and the framing of the sky. In the center of this blank space, a mastic tree has been planted, which is framed by a circular seating surface to transform it into a vital place for gathering and communication between family members.
与其他户外空间一样，这里的空隙用金属表面填充，允许自然植被攀爬。塞浦路斯的植物，如茉莉花、金银花和潘多拉，都被精心保存或移植到所有的户外空间。清新的大自然进入房子，在拥抱花园和转向花园的日常生活中，攀附在它的皮肤上。
As in the rest of the outdoor spaces, here the void is filled with metal surfaces allowing natural vegetation to climb. Cypriot plants such as jasmine, honeysuckle, and pandorea, have been carefully preserved or transplanted in all the outdoor spaces. The refreshing nature enters the house and climbs upon its skin in an everyday life that embraces the garden and turns towards it.
