Residence in Engomi (G & N)

Project Overview

Residence in Engomi (G & N)

Residence in Engomi (G & N), designed by architect Nikos Nikolaou, is defined by clean lines, a compact form and an ergonomic architectural composition that harmoniously blends traditional elements with contemporary design.

The design features horizontal slabs, cantilevers and vertical wall elements, which interact with pitched and hipped tiled roofs. This creates a balanced architectural dialogue between modern expression and vernacular forms.

The building is developed across two levels. The ground floor accommodates the everyday living spaces, including the living room, kitchen, dining area and auxiliary spaces, while the upper floor hosts the private areas, such as bedrooms and bathrooms.

The overall composition is predominantly inward-looking, with spaces flowing seamlessly into one another while ensuring privacy, functionality and a strong sense of security for its residents.

Design Approach

The design approach of the residence is based on the creation of a clean and ergonomic home that combines contemporary architectural expression with elements inspired by traditional residential architecture.

The composition is organised through horizontal slabs, cantilevers and vertical wall elements, which coexist with pitched and hipped tiled roofs. This creates a dialogue between modern geometry and vernacular form.

The functional layout follows the needs of everyday living, with the shared spaces placed on the ground floor and the private areas on the upper floor. This organisation enhances practicality and clearly separates the different uses of the residence.

The inward-looking character of the composition contributes to privacy and a sense of security, creating a calm and protected living environment.
