Being a architecture student at Syracuse University I am part of a com-munity and working ambiance that has given me skills ranging from architectural to social aspects.

As a Cypriot who grew up in Dubai, there is a lot I have taken from my diverse background and I feel it is important to integrate this experience in my college career. I am always open to new people, opinions and ideas. It is a key goal of mine to keep this attitude in my profession.

ALWAYS EXPLORING TO FIND A CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE I CAN MEET NEW ENTHUSIASTIC PEOPLE, IMPROVE MY SKILLS AND ENJOY CREATING ARCHITECTURE FOR TODAY.

HOUSING STRATEGYUNIT DISTRIBUTION

THE STRATEGY IS TO FILL THE GAPS OF CERTAIN BLOCKS WITH HOUSING SO THAT THE EDGE IS ACCENTUATED AND DENSIFIED. THE TRADITIONAL ENGLISH TERRACE HOME IS RETHOUGHT BY DESIGNING THE UNITS ARE IN REVERSE.ENTERING THE HOME THROUGH A PUBLIC URBAN FARMING COURTYARD INTO THE LIVING SPACE, DINING AND FINAL-LY THE BEDROOM. THIS CREATES A NEW FORM OF URBAN DWELLING AS IT FILTERS FROM THE PUBLIC STREET TO THE PRIVATE HOME
