The SIX UNIC RESIDENCES is a student housing complex designed by Eraclis Papachristou Architects and completed in 2018. Six solid towers rise from an elevated platform that contains the shared communal spaces. This base is shaped by folds and curves, creating a dynamic horizontal landscape that supports the vertical volumes above. The towers, made of exposed reinforced concrete, are set at different inclinations, leaning toward each other. The composition is defined by strong geometry: angled and slightly leaning towers, sharp voids, and exposed concrete surfaces. Together, these elements form a compact but expressive landmark within the city. Recognized for its architectural ambition, the project was nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award, highlighting its contribution to contemporary architectural discourse in Cyprus and beyond.
