345号院的最初设计理念源于其业主的需求。内向和隐私是业主所表达的两个主要内容。为了实现这一目标以及创造一个家庭日常使用的空间,设计团队决定确定几个想象的区域,这些区域将通过物理和心理限制来实现。

The original design idea of House 345 originates from the needs of its owners. Introversion and privacy were the two main components expressed by the owners. To achieve this goal as well as the creation of a space that will be used daily by a family, the design team decided to identify several imaginary zones, which will be implemented through physical and mental limits.

建筑正面的大面积无涂层混凝土墙正是实现了这种自然边界,将房屋内部与公共空间分开。它封住了后面住宅的隐私,而选择性的开口提供了具有不同安全级别的受控入口。城堡的结构在这里以不同的词汇被重新表述(结果相同)。

The large wall of uncoated concrete at the facade of the building implements exactly this natural boundary that separates the interior of the house from the public space. It seals the privacy of the residence behind it, while the selective openings offer controlled entrances with different levels of security. The structure of a castle is restated here with a different vocabulary (with the same result).

裸露的混凝土板,作为一种简单、朴实的材料,其内部结构类似于石头,具有 “保护 “功能,同时也界定了边界和房屋整体的美学。对塞浦路斯传统建筑的参考是非常强烈的。内院的概念和传统塞浦路斯建筑不可逾越的一面,在新的城市景观中以现代术语和词汇被分析和重构,具有不同的美学,忠实于结构的特点和材料的性质。

Bare planked concrete, as a simple, earthy material, with an internal structure similar to stone, functions ‘protectively’, while at the same time defining the boundary and the aesthetics of the house as a whole. The references to traditional Cypriot architecture are intense. The concept of the inner courtyard and the impenetrable aspect of traditional Cypriot architecture, are analyzed and reconstructed in modern terms and vocabulary in a new urban landscape, with different aesthetics, faithful to the character of the structure and the nature of the materials.

在内部,一楼的房子被组织成一个开放式的空间,将客厅和餐厅统一起来,创造一个开放的日常空间,温暖,部分地将它们与厨房的自然边界分开。最后,345号房屋的内敛特征在立面方面以相反的方式完成—将整个后方的视野开放到庭院的外后方空间。

Internally, the house on the ground floor is organized as an open plan space that unifies the living room and dining room to create an open everyday space, warm, partially separating them with a natural boundary from the kitchen. Finally, the introverted character of House 345 is completed with the opposite in terms of the facade – opening of the entire rear view to the outer back space of the courtyard.
