About Villa Troy 住宅
ヴィラ・トロイは、ニコシア大都市圏の郊外に位置する個人住宅である。屋内床面積は340平方メートルで、4人家族のための住まいとなっている。生活空間はベランダと庭に囲まれ、不規則なL字型に配置されている。オープンプランの1階には、ラウンジ、リビングルーム、ダイニングルームが設けられ、玄関ホールの吹き抜け空間を中心に展開している。正面壁の石張りはトロイの城壁を想起させ、5本の金属製ブラケットは古代の槍を思わせる。建物の配置は、自然換気と自然採光を促すよう計画されている。

- Unique Properties
- Living spaces, arranged in an irregular L-shape, are placed amidst a cluster of outdoor areas, including verandas and a garden.
The open-plan ground level accommodates the lounge, the living and dining rooms. The double-height void at the vestibule becomes the core around which those three integrated parts of the house develop.
The building’s placement enhances natural ventilation and lighting, and large openings add to the connection between inside and out. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The 340 square meters internal cover area, private house in the outskirts of greater Nicosia was designed to feature contemporary aesthetics, acquiring permanence with the use of timeless materials. Concurrently, the house caters to the needs of a family of four, facilitating communication and comfort.

- Production Technology
- The choice of stone cladding on a loadbearing wall on the façade, as well as on the enclosure at the back of the property, hints at the walls of Troy.
Metal, applied in many components, is another significant material from that time: the façade features five ornamental brackets whose angular form alludes to the trojan war spears. The original metal door and the vertical metal railings shape the home enclosure.
The open-plan ground level accommodates the lounge, the living and dining rooms. The double-height void at the vestibule becomes the core around which those three integrated parts of the house develop.
The fireplace, dominating the ground level, functions as divider at the limit between the vestibule, living room, and dining area. Its glass enclosure on three sides allows the hearth to be visible from all adjacent spaces.
The base of the fireplace is clad in ceramic tiles emulating fair-face concrete; this material also dresses the dining room wall, featuring the portrait paintings of Paris and Helen. The fair-face concrete ceramic pairs well with the floor tiling, emulating Calacatta marble. This material covers the entire ground floor of the house, assigning luxury and elegance. - Design Challenge
