The Design

About M Two House

M Two is a house located on the outskirts of a village on a hill in Limassol, Cyprus. The design and materials suit the natural landscape and respect traditional village house designs, with a modern aesthetic. The layout follows a traditional pi shape, which gives a calm and ergonomic flow between interior and exterior. Family and public spaces blend together, yet function independently and offer privacy where needed. Four living areas allow all aspects of the mountain and sea views to be enjoyed. The colour palette uses natural beige, brown, green and blue tones.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Located at the outskirts of a village, the design and materials of the house suit both the natural landscape and respect the traditional village-house designs but with a modern aesthetic. The layout is a traditional ‘pi’ Π shape that gives a calm and ergonomic flow between interior and exterior. We wanted the family and public spaces of the house to blend seamlessly but function independently and offer privacy where needed. Four living areas allow all aspects of the view to be enjoyed.
Inspiration: The inspiration came from the immediate environment. It is on a hill with uninterrupted views of both mountain and sea. It is north facing and perfectly orientated for the sun, light, air and views. We wanted a seamless flow between the interior and exterior so that wherever you are in the house, you would always have a beautiful outlook. With the native landscape as our palette, we used natural colours of beige rock, brown wood, mountain olive greens and blue water to reflect the facing Mediterranean Sea.
Project Duration: Two years Limassol Cyprus
