New Nicosia Townhall – B4
The New Nicosia Town Hall located within the Venetian walled city of Nicosia stands among and respecting the predating antiquities. The Main Hall designed as an almost transparent box, shaded by the internal double sided woven basket-like construction. The basket is visible from both the exterior and the interior.
Our part in this project was to bring to life the double basket like woven cladding out of premium quality birch plywood. The nature of the project didn’t leave much to luck as it demanded very precise cuts and calculations made possible with 2d designing, 3d modelling, CNC-cutting and excellent workmanship.
