Vessel 24

The "VESSEL 24" is an interior reformation of a traditional stone building located in the historic village of Omodos, Cyprus. Drawing inspiration from the vernacular architectural elements of the region, the project aims to perpetuate local traditions through a contemporary design that meets present-day needs. An element that is constantly present in the Cypriot history is the vessel. Over the decades, the vessel’s use has evolved to meet current needs, starting as an essential functional object for storage and transforming into an object of decoration and planting. The architectural intervention reinterprets the vessel as a contemporary functional entity that accommodates all the functions of a hospitality project. The design is derived from the optimal flow of movement and the efficient use of space, and the items stored within it. All characteristics of a "traditional" vessel are retained and reimagined in a contemporary form. “VESSEL 24” embodies the core significance and use of this historic item today.
