A new three-storey residential development in Limassol, Unico has a unique identity and a strong formal concept, that emphasises vertical movement and the sea views available from the balconies. The building presented is an example of contemporary architecture, with clean geometry and strict form. The structure is characterised by the use of exposed concrete, which lends a dynamic aesthetic, while the large glass surfaces enhance the sense of transparency and lightness. The building combines functionality and aesthetics, following the principles of modern design. The façade is organised along defined horizontal and vertical axes, with balconies acting as extensions of the interior space. Transparent glass railings allow unobstructed views, adding a sense of spaciousness for the users.
The entrance of the building is defined by a bold geometric form that emphasises the flow toward the structure. The visitor’s path is enriched by the placement of planters with greenery at different levels, softening the hardness of the concrete. The materiality of the building consists mainly of exposed concrete, fibre cement board panels, dark grey Alucobond cladding, glass, and metal elements, creating a harmonious contrast. The concrete offers stability, while the glass brings light into the interior and establishes a visual connection with the surrounding environment. Black metal details, such as railings and vertical louvers, reinforce the modern character. This building functions as a complex of luxury apartments, designed to high specifications. The distribution of interior spaces appears to adapt to the needs of the users, offering comfort, natural lighting, and ventilation. In summary, the project embodies the philosophy of contemporary architecture, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing space where form follows function, while also meeting the needs of its users.
