Limassol Club

Description

Limassol VR Game Club is a project developed on the basis of an existing building in the historical quarter of Limassol, Cyprus. Under the spectacular facade, a multifunctional gaming space is organized, where various recreation scenarios are intertwined with virtual reality elements.

We have developed the project in two variants: the first involves the reconstruction of the existing volume of the building, while the second involves its preservation with a renewed stylistic interpretation. At the moment, the final appearance of the building depends on the decision of the local municipality.

In both cases, the main focus of the façade solution is on working with metal and glass, their interaction with light and the urban environment. The glazing for Limassol VR Game Club was developed together with our partners Aestech.

Project

The building consists of 7 storeys. Preserving the proportions of the building has not changed its character of interaction with the overall storey environment. When working with the facade in both variations of the project, we have retained the original portal configuration for the building's entrance group.

855/1017

The area of the building is 855/1017 m2. The floors of the club house VR-boxes and a large VR-arena, a computer club, event hall, as well as areas for "analog" recreation - a store, restaurant, karaoke

2 variants were designed. For each of the project variants we developed a separate facade solution. In the renovation project, we presented the facade with a series of glass and metal cannelluras. In the renovation of the existing volume, we used non-parallel louvers that form a visually volumetric pattern on the facades.

Limassol VR Game Club is located in the historical quarter of the city. The house on which the project is based was built 30 years ago. We set ourselves the task of not only filling it with a new function from within, but also transforming its architectural appearance, breathing a fresh vision into it in the context of an ancient, emotionally vibrant city.

The main expressive tool of the projects is light. Sun-drenched Limassol during the day is reflected in the aluminum and glass planes of the club's facades. At night, the light fills the building from within, seeping into the cityscape through the louvers and perforations of the facade planes.

In the renovation project of the Limassol VR Game Club building, we presented the facade with a series of large cannelluras. This technique balances the antique context of the location with the spectacular, updated look of the building. The facade has traditional features, but is made of perforated aluminum, which is replaced by glass on the upper floors.

As an alternative, we also designed the Limassol VR Game Club while maintaining the original volume of the building - here it is "stitched" into a cubic form whose aluminum facades play in the light in a special way due to the texture of the louvers.

The aluminum facades, reflecting in the sun and in their own night lighting, distinguish the Limassol VR Game Club from the surrounding buildings. In the street panorama, the project is conceived as a new visual magnet, attracting the eye with its fresh, atypical architecture. This spectacularity also draws attention to a new function centered within the walls of the building.

The second floor is dedicated to the open space of a shared VR arena. This can be interactive simulations for companies or games that require a lot of space for physical activity.

3rd floor

A large event hall is organized here, as well as a separate office area. Technical rooms are located in the far part of the floor.

In the project that preserves the volume of the building, the fourth floor is completely dedicated to the restaurant. In the case of the version involving reconstruction, another event hall and a karaoke zone are organized on the fourth floor.
