In the heart of Nicosia, Cyprus, NOVOWOOD® wood composite cladding contributes to defining the identity of a residential building characterised by contemporary architecture and a strong vertical development.

The Stasicratos project features SKIN AIR 219H26 boards in the Wood colour finish, used to clad different sections of the building envelope and create a striking contrast in materials and colours with the white surfaces and glass balustrades.

The building's most distinctive feature is the sequence of balconies with curved, flowing geometries, which shape the façade through overlapping fluid lines. Within this composition, the WPC cladding introduces wood-effect surfaces with a regular pattern, creating a more structured rhythm in contrast with the softness of the horizontal lines.

The boards follow the vertical development of the building, cladding walls, recessed areas and architectural elements of the terraces to create visual continuity across the different sections of the façade. The Wood finish adds depth to the composition and further enhances the interplay between solid and open spaces that characterises the entire project.

Stasicratos demonstrates how WPC façade cladding can become an integral part of the architectural language of a contemporary building. The NOVOWOOD® SKIN AIR system combines the aesthetics of wood composite with complex geometries and articulated surfaces, contributing to the creation of a highly distinctive building envelope.
