The Psaras Construction offices are located at the heart of Aglantzia, within a designated Special Character Area, and are developed across two adjacent plots that were activated during different periods. The project emerged through a process of gradual architectural interventions, aiming to integrate contemporary workspaces within a context of strong historical and urban character.

The University of Cyprus Library, «Stelios Ioannou» Learning Resource Center, was completed in 2018 and designed by the distinguished architect Jean Nouvel. Covering 15,700 sq.m., the building rises as an artificial hill, inspired by the landscape and specifically by the Arona Hill. Its exterior colored membrane harmonizes with the surroundings and provides shading. The circular geometry and flowing layout create a unified, dynamic interior, while natural light, directed through the heliostat, reflects off the internal cone and spreads across the reading areas, highlighting the building’s energy efficiency and its significance as a contemporary architectural work.
