Tower 25, also known as The White Walls, [4] is a high-rise building located in central Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, [5] it gained recognition as one of Nicosia's notable landmarks due to its distinctive design and central location.[ original research?] Standing at a height of 62 meters, Tower 25 ranks as the eleventh-tallest building in Cyprus.
The ground floor, the mezzanine areas, and the first six floors above them are occupied by offices belonging to Ernst & Young (EY). [4] The subsequent seven floors consist of apartments that offer panoramic views of the entire capital city.[ citation needed] The penthouse, spanning the two top floors, [6] showcases a design inspired by traditional Cypriot architecture[ citation needed] and features a swimming pool. [7]
A significant portion of the apartments, including the penthouse, had already been sold prior to the commencement of construction. The total cost of the building was approximately €25 million, and its construction was completed in early 2013. [8]
Each floor of the building has a full-length balcony. They vary in width and depth; each offers views of the city and its walls.
The other façades of the building exhibit a pattern of square voids that serve as both windows and openings for natural ventilation, catering to the hot climate of the city. [6] Particularly on the sun-facing southern façade, a series of balconies extend across the entire width of the building, effectively addressing the need for shade and facilitating a pleasant outdoor experience. [6]
The building overlooks the Venetian fortifications of the city of Nicosa. Adjacent to the newly redesigned Eleftheria Square, envisioned by architect Zaha Hadid, [6] it benefits from its proximity to the city's major commercial thoroughfares, namely Makariou Avenue and Themistokli Dervi Avenue.[ citation needed] The strategic positioning of the building is intended to stimulate further development along the ring avenue encircling the city walls.[ citation needed]
