The creation of the new rehabilitation center for teenagers, in Cyprus in an already existing building, was the cause of choosing to design a new building that would fulfill the real functional needs of this institution.
The motivation for choosing such a theme was that we were aware of the operation of the rehab center of «Agia Skepi» at the suburbs of Nicosia and that it evoked us admiration the anthropocentric way of operation.
Our decision for designing such a building was concurrent with the search of a real place for the establishment of this new foundation, about which we were informed and it was going to start working at March 2019.
The building in order to fulfill all the needs of the program it includes properly configured spaces, for living, recreation and psychotherapies. More specifically a complex of semi-autonomous buildings that are connected with each other with corridors, are forming two main courtyards, giving a sensation of a neighborhood. All buildings are ground leveled except for the living units and the entrance unit so as to create more potential ways of moving between
In order to create the filling of familiarity, for the construction of the bulding units we used wood and stone at the external. However, because of the great spans that was created in the buildings, we used metal stracture as a static body.
The aim of this assignment was to fulfill all the real needs of the rehabilitation center using the best possible way.
