Beautiful Detached Villa, Pegia – Sea Caves, Paphos

The development was designed so it would complement and be complemented by the immediate surroundings. The development is at the top of a small canyon with one of the properties accessed via a road that leads down into the canyon to a lower-level plot. The area is mainly scrub, grassland and trees with areas of open cream or white limestone. The development follows the pattern of the landscape in being planted with mature trees and with a garden that blends with the natural vegetation. The soft natural colours of the exterior, highlighted and yet softened by the use of terracotta screens and natural wood panelling lead seamlessly into the interior living space transitioned through a spacious outdoor living area. The exterior colour scheme and use of wood is continued inside with soft sand-coloured walls and ceilings highlighted with walnut doors and soft, warm downlighters that are unobtrusive yet effective in producing a homely feel during the winter nights. Internally, the feeling of luxury is highlighted with travertine marble panels used in the bathrooms and as a headboard for the bedrooms. As well as being a luxurious touch, marble is renowned for its cool touch and helps reduce the temperature as you sleep. Walnut finish doors are fitted to each room as well as the closets.

In places, walnut panelling is added as a feature and adds to the feel of bringing the outside in, mirroring the exterior finishing touches. High quality marble tiles adorn the floor throughout the properties whilst Italian-designed and manufactured ceramic tiles are used above the granite work surfaces in the kitchen, in complementary shades. The kitchen is fitted with high-spec cabinets and electrical appliances from top European manufacturers. Finally, the landscaping of the project has been carefully considered so the mature tree planting is in tune with the naturally occurring greenery. Smaller shrubs also reflect the environment, chosen from species endemic to Cyprus. For ease of maintenance, an automatic watering system is in place and for sustainability, a lining and gravel covers the ground to reduce water loss through evaporation.
