CSS & Associates – Architecture That Brings Harmony to Inner and Outer Environment

Nature never ceases to amaze with rich combinations of colors, shapes, textures. But the most amazing thing is the harmony that reigns in these combinations of seemingly incompatible elements. When it comes to architecture, a sign of special skill is the ability of professionals to fit the structure into the natural landscape, to ensure the harmony of the place for comfortable living of people and its surroundings. CSS & Associates demonstrates such craftsmanship by creating architectural works that not only become a natural part of the landscape, but also give their occupants the maximum benefit of their surroundings.

Combining the natural with the artificial, the traditional with the contemporary, the functional with the sustainable, they develop projects that are perfect in terms of aesthetics and practicality. Taking into account individual client requirements, CSS & Associates finds customized solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and sustainable architecture practices.

‘Art Parkside’ is a CSS & Associates project that embodied the fundamentals of the company’s vision and was recognized by the judging panel of the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. It is a modern residential development, located next to a public park in Limassol, with a view of the famous Akrotiri Bay and close to local stores and amenities. The advantageous location and clever architecture of the building provide residents with a great view of the surrounding scenic area. With excellent transportation links, residents have easy access to a variety of institutions, making it an ideal place to work and live a tranquil life with the family. 

CSS & Associates developed the ‘Art Parkside’ project in collaboration with Nicholas Papageorgiou – Tale London, Itsimple Art Ltd.

The new Porsche GT3 Event in Cyprus!

The Porsche GT3 Launch Event in Limassol by A.I. Motokinisi Ltd

A.I. Motokinisi Ltd, the official importers and distributors of Porsche cars in
Cyprus, have organized the launch event for the new Porsche GT3. The event
took place at the Porsche Showroom in Limassol.

Two very unique 911 GT3 models were on dynamic display, one in a special colour “Shark Blue” and the other in a custom colour of “Nato Olive Green”.

The distinctive strength of the 911 GT3 lies in the sum of its characteristics. The
double-wishbone front axle layout and sophisticated aerodynamics with swan
neck rear wing and striking diffuser originate from the successful GT race car 911
RSR and the 375 kW (510 PS), four-litre six-cylinder boxer engine is based on
the drivetrain of the 911 GT3 R, tried and tested in endurance racing.

The acoustically impressive, the high-revving engine is also used practically unchanged in the new 911 GT3 Cup. The result is a brilliant driving machine: efficient and emotional, precise and high-performance – perfect for the circuit and superb for everyday use.

With a top speed of 320 km/h and 318 km/h with PDK, it is even faster than the
previous 911 GT3 RS. It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
Porsche also offers the new model with a six-speed manual transmission for a
particularly puristic driving experience.

The sophisticated aerodynamics benefit from the experiences gained from motor
racing and generate significantly more downforce without noticeably affecting the
drag coefficient. In the performance position, the manually set wing and diffuser
elements significantly increase the aerodynamic pressure for high cornering
speeds.

This is, however, reserved strictly for outings on the circuit, as it is there that the
911 GT3 can play all its trump cards. During final testing, it lapped the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife, traditionally the ultimate proving ground for all sports
cars developed by Porsche, over 17 seconds quicker than its predecessor.

A TASTE OF NATURE: NEW RESTAURANT OPENS AT MINTHIS LIFESTYLE RESORT, OFFERING A CULINARY JOURNEY

Minthis, Cyprus’s premier lifestyle resort, is excited to announce the opening of its newest addition, Amaracus, an exquisite Mediterranean inspired restaurant that promises to transport guests on a gastronomic journey of flavors and culture.

Nestled within the stunning grounds of the social square at Minthis, Amaracus captures the essence of Minthis, both in its delectable cuisine and its captivating ambiance. With panoramic views of over the Troodos mountain range, the restaurant provides a picturesque setting that complements its culinary offerings.

Led by renowned Greek Chef Dimitris Katrivesis, the restaurant showcases a menu inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Cyprus and the Mediterranean. Guests will have the opportunity to savor an array of authentic dishes meticulously crafted using locally sourced, fresh ingredients many from the resort grounds, including nuts, honey, olive oil and fruits from the orchards. From mouthwatering sough dough flatbreads baked in the wood-fired oven to succulent steaks from the Robbata and Josper Oven, each dish is a testament to the culinary excellence that awaits patrons.

“We are delighted to introduce Amaracus and be part of Minthis,” said Chef Dimitris.”Here, we have created a dining experience that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also immerses guests in the vibrant local culture. With its inviting ambiance and expertly crafted menu, Amaracus embodies the essence of Minthis, its inspired by the local herbs and ingredients allowing guests to indulge in a memorable culinary journey.”

The name Amaracus has a significant meaning for Minthis. It originated from Greek mythology, where a boy from Paphos held the prestigious position of royal perfumer in the court of King Cinyras, his father. One fateful day, Amaracus stumbled and fell while carrying a collection of potent ointments, causing them to mix and create an alluring scent. In order to keep this scent immortal, Amaracus was transformed into the amarakon herb, also known as marjoram or wild oregano. This fragrant plant was considered sacred to the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, and was known for its sweet aroma. The myth compliments the resort philosophy, which is inspired by the surrounding nature, and which is bountiful with wild oregano. 

The restaurant’s elegant interior design reflects the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere of the Mediterranean. Warm earth tones, carefully selected furnishings, and soft lighting create an inviting space where guests can unwind and savor their dining experience. The large opening bar one side and the folding glass doors on the other revealing a large terrace, provides an al fresco option for diners to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and mild-Mediterranean evenings.

Amaracus is not only a culinary destination but also an integral part of the immersive lifestyle experience offered by Minthis. Guests can indulge in a range of activities and amenities, including spa treatments at the ground-breaking destination wellness Spa as well as recreational facilities such as golf, hiking and cycling. The restaurant’s location within the resort ensures that guests can seamlessly transition from relaxation to a captivating dining experience without ever leaving the property.

With its commitment to culinary excellence, welcoming ambiance, and idyllic setting, Amaracus is poised to become a sought-after dining destination in Paphos and throughout Cyprus. The restaurant invites both resort guests and local patrons to embark on a culinary adventure through the flavors and traditions of the Mediterranean.

New artist alert

The Edit Gallery is delighted to announce newest collaboration with Greek emerging artist Eleni Psyllaki

Eleni Psyllaki (b. 1981) was originally trained as an architect and it’s her background in architecture and design which informs her art practice. Her paintings and works on paper are characterized by linear sketching, straight lines, scaling, and above all a love for symmetry. The strict geometry and precision of her works are a continuation of the free sketching one comes across in architectural drawings. Her color palette is infused with balanced earthly tones inspired by her birthplace Crete.

In her paintings, we can discern the beige of stone, the brown of tree trunks, the olives’ khaki, and the gold of summer cobs. Her forms on the other hand are strict and minimal and rooted in abstraction where any surplus information or detail is eliminated infusing the works with a Doric quality. In this way, Psyllaki likes to draw attention to the contours, hard edges, and pure tonality of the form.

Her artworks are populated by various representations of vessels both historical and imaginary. Despite their descriptive outline, forms are seen as a flat space that can encompass meaning. Here the artist plays with the form of the vessel and what it encapsulates as well as with the notion of the void and what it enfolds be that wine like in ancient Greece or an idea and emotion. Psyllaki’s vessels always have an entrance and an exit with the bottom side left open-ended acting as a metaphor for the union between the divine and the terrestrial.

Porsche Cyprus: 30 years of an iconic journey

0

This year, PORSCHE CYPRUS celebrates 30 years of iconic performance on Cypriot roads. All this is thanks to the vision of Alkis Iacovides, the man who passionately loved PORSCHE and decided to introduce the favorite German car models in Cyprus three decades ago.

It was on 4 February 1993 when Alkis Iacovides, an enthusiastic businessman who deeply adored cars, founded A.I. MOTOKINISI LTD and acquired the exclusive PORSCHE dealership in Cyprus. He had great love for sport driving and racing, since in his youth he used to successfully participate in the Cyprus International Rally. The combination of these two passions was often what made him want to regularly travel to various parts of the world, to take part in and closely monitor the international motor shows, visit PORSCHE’s showrooms and of course be the first to be informed about the latest developments and innovations in the automotive industry. This was the beginning of the subsequent successful growth of the PORSCHE CYPRUS dealership, where Alkis Iacovides took over the role of Managing Director for many years, before handing over the baton to his children who continued the impressive performance of the dealership in our country.

Historically, PORSCHE CYPRUS built its first car exhibitions in Nicosia in 1993, at Achaion Street in the Engomi area. It was the first showroom dedicated to PORSCHE cars, a small space compared to today’s standards; however, it housed for the first time the grand dream of Ferdinand Porsche, the man who first dreamt of the historic car and made his dream come true. All this was thanks to Alkis Iacovides vision to enable every genuine lover of the iconic car to face the car up close, touch it, drive it and eventually make it their own. What followed? Conquering roads and the hearts of the drivers in Cyprus, the next showroom in Nicosia was created in 2006, fully meeting the high standards of PORSDCHE Germany worldwide. As a next step, Limassol also had its first showroom in 2010 and in 2022 this was followed by the creation of an innovative, completely new space, called PORSCHE DESTINATION. This was the showroom that came to make a difference. It is one of PORSCHE’s 4 most state-of-the-art showrooms in Europe, a real point of reference in terms of how such a space can bring together all the services provided and at the same time offer aspiring drivers a sense of complete experience of what driving a PORSCHE is really all about. Today, all PORSCHE DESTINATION visitors can admire the breathtaking PORSCHE models: 911, Carrera & Targa, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, Boxster, Cayman and Taycan, the cars that everyone falls in love with at first sight.

It is worth noting, however, that PORSCHE CYPRUS is not only a leader in the automotive sector. Embracing and supporting everything new and innovative, PORSCHE CYPRUS takes the initiative to take a stand and decisively support social issues. With its participation in PORSCHE’s SHIFT Project globally, it aims to highlight established women who have faced racial stereotypes and realized their dreams as regards standards of value for even more dynamic women. That’s why PORSCHE CYPRUS appeals directly to the woman of today, reminding her that a luxury car of high standards, a car that seemed to be a male privilege in the past, is now part of what she can and is entitled to dream of, just like everything she chooses and wants to conquer.

With a legacy of 30 years of presence in the Cypriot car market, PORSCHE CYPRUS and A.I. Motokinisi Ltd continue to have a single destination: the ultimate driving experience also for the next 30 years.

Interview with Mohamed El Mahdy

Mohamed El Mahdy is a highly successful real estate development entrepreneur, Mohamed is the Owner and chief executive officer for El Homes Development Ltd. With a strong track record of delivering impressive returns for his clients and a reputation for excellence in the industry, Mr. El Mahdy has established himself as a leading figure in the world of real estate development.

Moi Ostrov: Good afternoon, Mr. El Mahdy. Thank you for joining us today at Moi Ostrov Magazine. Could you tell us why you established El Homes in Cyprus?

Mohamed El Mahdy: Cyprus has been a highly sought-after destination for foreign investors due to its exceptional quality of life, year-round sunny weather, and stunning natural beauty. The property market in Limassol, in particular, has proven to be a driving force behind investment in the island, and I believe that this market will only continue to strengthen in terms of efficiency and transparency, solidifying its position among Europe’s top destinations.

Moi Ostrov: How do you compare Limassol to other European destinations in terms of investment opportunities for buy-to-let investors?

Mr. Mohamed El Mahdy

Mohamed El Mahdy: Limassol serves as the business hub for the entire Mediterranean region, attracting numerous international companies in various industries such as forex, logistics, and shipping management. This high demand for rental properties has led to a consistent and reliable stream of income for buy-to-let investors. Compared to other European destinations, such as London, I believe that investing in a 500k average apartment in Limassol can yield twice the income for the same valued flats. At EL HOMES, we strive to provide our buyers with the ultimate living experience in the best locations, whether for personal residency or rental purposes.

Moi Ostrov: Can you share some details about a current project you are working on?

Mohamed El Mahdy: We are excited to be working on two innovative projects at the moment, the ultra-luxury EL VILLA and the EL CURVE residential building. EL VILLA is located on the prestigious Agios Tychonas hills and provides unparalleled luxury living, while EL CURVE offers 2 and 3-bedroom flats and penthouses in the affluent Columbia Germasoya neighborhood. Additionally, we have upcoming projects in the pipeline, including the construction of new residential units, retail spaces, and community parks. Our goal is to create vibrant, sustainable communities that promote a great quality of life for residents.

El Villa – El Homes project under construction

Moi Ostrov: How do you ensure sustainability and environmental friendliness in your projects?

Mohamed El Mahdy: At EL HOMES, we place a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our projects incorporate energy-efficient systems, green roofs, and solar panels to reduce our carbon footprint. We also prioritize the use of locally sourced materials and incorporate green spaces to promote biodiversity. Furthermore, we work closely with local authorities to ensure full compliance with all relevant environmental regulations and guidelines.

Moi Ostrov: What are your future goals for the company?

Mohamed El Mahdy: Our goal at EL HOMES is to continue growing and expanding our business while maintaining our commitment to high-quality, sustainable properties. We aim to remain at the forefront of industry trends and technologies and to consistently provide exceptional customer service and satisfaction; In short at EL HOMES we want to build properties that are livable, and sustainable, but most importantly beautiful.

Following the great success during 40 years and after the numerous triumphal tours in Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, Canada, USA, Norway, France, Monaco, Great Britain, Greece, Israel, Columbia, Brazil, and others – total 58 (!) countries.

“Swan Lake” is an outstanding ballet to the music of the great Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky in the recognized classical staging of Marius Petipa, which was presented to the public at the Mariinsky Theatre in 1895. Since then, the romantic imagery of Swan Lake has thrilled adults and young audiences alike and inspired the work of choreographers throughout the world. This great work, widely known and loved by worldwide audiences  symbolizing the art of ballet, has become a gold page in the cultural world. Swan Lake is a story of eternal and beautiful love, betrayal, good and evil.

The plot is based on an old German legend about the beautiful girl Odette, transformed into a white swan. Only unselfish love and loyalty can lift her spell. The romantic young prince Siegfried arrives at the magic lake, sees Odette, falls in love and swears an oath of allegiance. But an evil genius stands in the way of the prince’s dream coming true… 

“Swan Lake” occupies a special place in the repertoire of the “Russian Ballet” theatre. In this production by Viacheslav Gordeyev, who carefully preserves the great classic, you can feel the choreographer’s individual signature, his creative pulse.

A Cause BrainRocket Believes in: A Large-Scale Limassol Clean-Up

0

On the 21st of June BrainRocket has joined forces with the municipality of Kato Polemidia and the City Friends Club to emphasize the importance of the environment we live in, by cleaning up and recycling the garbage across Limassol!

This is a serious issue that is very close to their hearts, so on the 4th of June 2022, they set off from the Kato Polemidia General Hospital to embark on a large-scale clean-up. Around 200 employees at BrainRocket and their families came together for this amazing cause and sent 91 bags of PMD rubbish for recycling, as well as getting rid of 3.78 tonnes of residual waste. In addition to the rubbish collected by volunteers during the clearing, the municipality of Kato Polemidia also removed 150 tonnes of rubbish in 2 week.

Through this collaboration, they are able to send out a call to action to everyone out there to come together to give a helping hand. They are also seeking to provide a message of encouragement and an understanding that no matter how dire the circumstances, no-one is alone and they are all in this together.

BrainRocket’s Director of PR, Hamza Afifi remarked: “Our team up with City Friends Club enabled BrainRocket to not only improve the environment, but to create an fun initiative for friends and family to get together, and enjoy some food and music, while furthering an important cause.”
