Fameline Offices

Mesa Getonia, Limassol, Cyprus

Completed: 2012

The site is located near the Mesa Geitonia roundabout and is bounded on one side by the Limassol–Nicosia motorway. The building form responds to the linearity and speed of the motorway by creating a protective wall, complemented by a playful, south-facing elevation. The upper floors take advantage of long views toward the sea. The design intention was to create a building where a complex programme shapes the aesthetic and generates a dynamic form and appearance. Decoration and ornamentation have been deliberately avoided, resulting in calm and uncluttered spaces that provide an optimal work environment for the occupants. A key feature of the project is flexibility. The combination of structural systems allows spaces to remain open and seamless, without the interruption of large structural elements, making the internal layout of the offices fluid and fully customisable.

The offices occupy the three upper floors, while the ground floor houses a foyer, a canteen and restaurant, conference rooms, and a gym. Lifts are centrally located on each floor, with staircases at either end of the plan. The lift landings have been designed to function as meeting points and social hubs, encouraging interaction and connectivity. The building structure consists of a reinforced concrete frame combined with metal cellular beams. Both the external envelope and internal partitioning are constructed using dry construction techniques, while the exterior is clad in high-pressure laminate panels. Internal floors are suspended and finished with a rubberised material selected for its sound-absorbing qualities. At the entrance, the mezzanine wall is clad entirely in marble wood, creating a strong and welcoming feature that defines the building’s entry.
