Limassol Residence Tower's location is one of the most prominent in Limassol, Cyprus. The site, with its unique Agios Tychonas long sandy beach, numerous city amenities and, above all, unobstructed sea views, defined the concept of the tower.

The idea was to vertically stack private houses with gardens on top of each other. Each apartment feels like a private house with a big garden and an outdoor terrace with majestic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Private terraces circle the perimeter, placed in such a manner that ensures absolute privacy between neighbours. They shape the exterior and are an important architectural design element that visually defines the tower and provides a connection with natural surroundings. The interior of each apartment opens towards the deep terraces, sometimes double in height, containing rich Mediterranean greenery and outdoor pools for spending quality time in the open air.

On the ground level, the whole plot is treated as an intimate semi-public garden with dense Mediterranean trees and greenery. Informal seating and playgrounds provide an oasis within the hectic city life. The garden is separated from the street by dense greenery that acts as a physical barrier as well as a visual screen.

An elegant and simple concrete structural skeleton defines the architecture of the building. Terrazzo-like concrete used for all facade elements consists of different natural local stone materials. As the construction is fully visible, a suitable shape of the columns cross-section was chosen to make them look thinner. The edges of the slabs (the edge beams) and the shape of the visible part of the slab are cross-shaped. That cross-section is obtained by circular cutting of corners of square cross-section.
