ukrainian heritage inspires Oppenheim Architecture’s villas

 

Architecture, planning, and interior practice Oppenheim Architecture infuses Cypriot architectural elements with Ukrainian heritage in the Smartland Villas project, located on a scenic south bay near Larnaca. Creating a community-oriented living experience, the project draws from traditional arches and cascading volumes with design details inspired by Ukrainian culture, offering 38 villas across seven distinct typologies. The development provides shared amenities like a swimming pool, tennis court, gym, market, café, and a beach club that invite residents to gather, relax, and connect with each other.

community-oriented living centers the project in cyprus

 

In keeping with the design philosophy of Oppenheim Architecture, Smartland weaves formal local characteristics into a contemporary context. The villas are designed to capture the natural light of Cyprus, while carefully placed landscaping connects inside and out, grounding residents in their environment.

 

Central to Smartland is its community-focused layout, with a spacious car-free garden running through the heart of the site. Situated behind the private backyards of each villa, this green space provides a tranquil retreat for residents, enhancing both privacy and access to nature. The garden promotes a calm environment and supports daily interactions among neighbors.
