Art gallery-cum-apartment tower in Nicosia, Cyprus
The building is arranged around three sides of a plaza with the gallery occupying the three storey podium and appartments in the tower. Each apartment occupies an entire floor of the tower with balconies facing south, west and, interspersed with bays, north to the mountains.
In the podium the south wing of the ground floor houses the restaurant and the tower’s lifts and escape stairs; the western side contains WCs, reception office area, and the introductory gallery; the north wing provides a sizeable temporary exhibition space.
The long west side of the second floor carries works from the European collection in a continuous space, with four moveable walls spaced out along the middle of the long axis. The Cypriot collection is in the northern wing, with an auditorium in the opposite wing. On the top floor of the podium, the Greek collection is ranged along the western and northern galleries, with offices and a large meeting room in the south wing.
