In House ED, <a href=\"https:\/\/draftworks.eu\/ch\/archives\/category\/projects\"><strong>Nicosia- and Athens-based<\/strong><\/a> draftworks* architects brings this idea into the present through a series of layered white walls that gradually lead from the street to the heart of the home. Rather than entering all at once, you pass through a sequence of spaces, catching glimpses of light, shade, and small pockets of planted greenery, before reaching the central garden. This garden, slightly wild and protected, offers the family a private connection to nature, even in the middle of a growing suburb.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visually, the house takes cues from modernist architecture, specifically from Adolf Loos, with its crisp white surfaces and clean geometry. The extended use of the white color plays a key role in how the house works with light. Throughout the day, sunlight bounces across the walls, a quality especially important to the family, who wanted a home where light could be felt as part of their daily rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beyond its form, the house is designed as a backdrop for everyday moments and for the couple\u2019s collection of art. Every room is arranged around the central garden, so there\u2019s always a visual and spatial connection to it, no matter where you are in the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>draftworks* architects completes House ED<\/p>\n<p>this family home is organized around a wild inner garden<\/p>\n<p>designed for a couple and their two children<\/p>\n<p>the 230-square-meter residence unfolds behind a succession of concentric white walls<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a lush, planted void that becomes the visual anchor of the project<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the design builds on the idea of the \u2018perivolos\u2019<\/p>\n<p>light and air flow through<\/p>\n<p>the house takes cues from modernist architecture<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the extended use of the white color plays a key role in how the house works with light<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the house is designed as a backdrop for everyday moments and for the couple\u2019s collection of art<\/p>\n<p>a series of white, protective layers that create a sense of privacy and enclosure<\/p>\n<p>every room is arranged around the central garden<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>layered white walls gradually lead from the street to the heart of the home<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0HOUSE ED<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/draftworks.eu\/ch\/archives\/category\/projects\">draftworks* architects<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/draftworks_architects\/\">@draftworks_architects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Lakatamia, Nicosia, Cyprus<\/p>\n<p><strong>area:<\/strong> 230 square meters<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>design team:<\/strong> Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou<\/p>\n<p><strong>landscape design:<\/strong> Maria Paraskevaidou<\/p>\n<p><strong>kitchen furniture design:<\/strong> Stavros Ioannou \u2013 MOB design studio | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mobdesignstudio\/\">@mobdesignstudio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>structural engineer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pstylianou.com\/\">Platon Stylianou &amp; Associates<\/a> \u2013 Civil and Structural Engineers L.L.C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>mechanical engineer:<\/strong> Eliana Georgiou \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/themepstudio.com.cy\/\">THE E&amp;E MEP STUDIO LLC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>electrical engineer:<\/strong> Evripides Papachristoforou \u2013 THE E&amp;E MEP STUDIO LLC<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> Maria Efthymiou \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativephotoroom.com\/\">Creative Photo Room<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/creativephotoroom\/\">@creativephotoroom<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><em>DIY submissions<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><em>here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>edited by: thomai tsimpou | designboom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/concentric-white-walls-garden-residence-draftworks-architects-cyprus-07-12-2025\/\">concentric white walls envelop garden-filled residence by draftworks* architects in cyprus<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>garden grows inside draftworks* architects\u2019 residence in cyprus \u00a0 On the outskirts of Nicosia, Cyprus, draftworks* architects completes House ED, a family home around a wild inner garden.
