The family who lives here – a businessman, a doctor, a football-enthusiast son, and two grown daughters – sought a place that could hold both their intimacy and their horizons. They had lived in Cyprus before, in a rented house, but this time the desire was deeper: to root themselves. The villa was delivered move-in ready, with its architectural lines and built-ins already defined, but what it needed was identity – a thread of coherence, gesture, and emotion. Through a series of conversations, unhurried and candid, the family’s cadence emerged: their fondness for gatherings, their preference for warmth over spectacle, their need for a home that could be both retreat and stage.

The living and dining areas became the gravitational center of this narrative, shaped by sculptural Italian seating, the quiet assurance of Poliform’s craftsmanship, the subtle incandescence of Flos, and the kinetic poetry of Moooi’s Mechmatic lighting. These pieces do not vie for attention; they conspire gently, creating a choreography of silhouettes and shadows. In the adjoining dining space, the Pianca table stands like an anchor around which the family’s daily rituals orbit – softened by marble, curved cabinetry, and reflective art that plays with light the way the sea does just beyond the windows. Nearby, a study that doubles as a guest room retains its fluid identity: a fold-out sofa, layered textiles, curated accessories, and art that feels more like a quiet thought than a statement. Upstairs, the private quarters follow their own rhythm. The master suite exudes muted serenity – a dialogue between a generous bed, handcrafted furnishings, Berber textures, and the gentle patina of lived-in materials. 

The children's room, animated by a football mural, feels both playful and composed, shaped by functional Nordic elements and Mediterranean warmth. The guest room, with its twin beds and understated geometry, offers simplicity without austerity.

At the top, a covered terrace opens the home to the horizon – a space that needs no ornament because the view itself is a form of architecture.
