Mulberry

Kato Pafos, Pafos, Cyprus

Completed: 2024

The building presented is a modern apartment block that conveys a sense of pure geometry and minimalist aesthetics, founded on the materiality of exposed concrete. The project incorporates principles of contemporary modernism, with a strong presence of architectural rhythm and a simple, rigorous composition. Externally, exposed concrete dominates as the main material, with visible horizontal and vertical lines and embossed strips that lend texture and rhythm to the façades. The façade itself is strictly symmetrical, with the balcony bands forming horizontal zones that organise the composition into three distinct levels. The structure is arranged around a central vertical axis—the staircase—which separates the two sides of the façade and reinforces the sense of linearity. The lateral façades continue the aesthetic of exposed concrete, punctuated by small window openings strategically positioned to ensure both natural light and privacy. At the rear, the building integrates an outdoor space with a swimming pool and landscaped planting, establishing a serene and private living environment.

The interior follows the same minimalist language and refined aesthetic, with neutral tones, natural wood, and concrete working together to create a balanced and welcoming atmosphere. Concrete also extends into the interior, adding authenticity and material presence to the spaces. The building comprises twelve two-bedroom apartments, four on each floor. The ground level accommodates communal areas, while the rooftop offers a shared terrace. Overall, the building stands as a distinctive example of contemporary high-standard housing, emphasising architectural rigor, purity of form, and the seamless integration of natural materials. The use of exposed concrete is not merely a structural choice but a defining element of architectural expression, imparting character, permanence, and identity to the building.
