RE:HOUSE Boutique Hotel

Project idea

A pause in a memory. The space carries the memories of Cyprus's industrial heritage while bringing the healing spirit of the olive into its fabric, creating a pause in collective memory and a healing place for human experience.

Project description

The project transforms an industrial heritage site in Cyprus into a dining hall that integrates stone and metal structures reminiscent of the past with light, green spaces, and olive trees to create calm and peace. The design features a restaurant space named RE:HOUSE/ZEYKO that combines indoor dining areas with a kitchen, utilizing the existing industrial character while introducing natural elements. The building incorporates perforated metal panels over glass roof surfaces to filter solar radiation and enable natural ventilation through a stack effect.The exhibition is designed for continuous flow. You enter from one side, experience the sequence of spaces and exit from other side. The loop can be repeated through multiple entrances. The metal structure extends to the back, following the exiting roof profile and create an open but defined outdoor space.For suit rooms ,the metal additions create a layered transition from public to private. Each entrance is defined, filtered and protected.

Technical information

Passive strategies include a roof system for Building 3 where glass surfaces allow daylight into the interior while perforated metal panels positioned above filter solar radiation, reduce heat gain, and create a cavity that generates a stack effect providing natural ventilation. Solar control is achieved through perforated metal panels blocking direct sunlight and reducing indoor heat gain. A thermal buffer is formed between the metal panel and glass carrying warm air upward. Natural ventilation allows fresh air to enter from lower levels and exit through upper openings creating continuous airflow. Automatic vertical sliding panels close during rainfall for rain protection. The project includes sections AA' and BB', floor plans showing dining hall and kitchen layout. In the building no.2 with the help of second skin façade Hot air is expelled through the stack effect, preventing excessive overheating of the interior.
Natural airflow helps maintain a cool and comfortable indoor environment
