Las Casas Avlí: Contemporary Cypriot Courtyard Houses by Ona i Ona

In Paralimni, Cyprus, the architectural duo Eleni Flouri and Laoura Maria Fotiou of Ona i Ona Architecture and Design have completed Las Casas Avlí, a 220 m² residential project that reinterprets the traditional Cypriot courtyard house archetype. The design creates a contemporary, multigenerational summer retreat where shared family life and individual privacy coexist around a common open-air heart. The project, completed in 2025, was curated by Nina Vuga and involved a team including civil engineer Savvas Constantinou, mechanical engineer Giorgos Katsambas, electrical engineer Nikolas Katsaris, landscape architect Antia Georgiou, and general contractor Creato Constructions Evagorou ltd. The clients are Andreas Tsiailis and Nicolas Tsiailis. The houses feature materials and products from suppliers such as Beton par Nature, Dune Unique Matters, and Muskita Aluminium Industries. Photographs were taken by Creative Photo Room and Maria Efthymiou. The project falls under the categories of residential architecture, houses, and residential interiors.
