| LANDSCAPING OUTDOOR OF AN EXISTING HOUSE |
The residence is located in Kaimakli, a small suburb of Nicosia Municipality. The yard borders the united nations buffer zone with two fronts open with little prospect of immediate development.
The design scheme included the demolition of the existing prefabricated swimming pool, as its weak metal frame made it dangerous. Ground excavation was carried out and cavities were filled methodically with suitable material to avoid settlement.
New paving on the terraces included a specially-cast gravel floor and synthetic decking, options with minimal maintenance requirements. Synthetic turf was engraved in the gravel floor slabs by based on the edges of the existing building creating outdoor play areas and sitting areas for relaxation. The many months of sunshine experienced in Cyprus, make the refurbished garden a haven for parents, children, friends and pets.
