    Design Philosophy

    Each structure at Minthis is a masterpiece of openness, light and air. Sophisticated living comes from simplicity as homes bond the traditions of local vernacular design with modernist values and elegance. A beautiful rhythm of floor-to-ceiling windows lets the outside into spaces that are impeccably finished, granting residents a fresh perspective each day.

    Internationally celebrated architects Woods Bagot have let their philosophy be guided by the mosaic of the surrounding landscape. Many windows are dual-aspect as well as full- height, dramatically framing vistas that lead the eye across inspiring horizons and beyond. Inside, natural materials, warm neutral tones and high-quality fixtures and finishes subtly embellish and enhance life, conveying understated luxury that lets the free-flowing spaces speak for themselves.

    A life lived in harmony with nature requires balance; in order for Minthis to add a richness to the landscape, it must give back more than it takes. Only 3% of the five million square metres of the surrounding ecological habitat will be developed. Over 70,000 indigenous trees and shrubs have been planted. Sustainable design harnesses the natural power of the elements.

    Sustainable Sensibilities

    The designers travelled extensively through local mountain villages to understand the philosophies of traditional Cypriot architecture. Minthis’ homes merge these time- honoured aesthetic principles with the best of contemporary design, creating refined cultural evolutions that evoke village life.

    Authentic Architecture

    From snow-capped mountains, seaside horizons and wild hillside to manicured golf greens, quaint villages and star-filled skies, the vistas at Minthis are panoramic and transformative, forever changing with the seasons.

    Limitless Panoramas

    Ochre-hued limestone from the Troodos Mountains, warm Iroko hardwood, luxurious Italian marbles; every home at Minthis draws upon natural materials, that have been carved and borne out of the earth, channeling their implicit integrity.

    Natural Materials

    Situated on a protected Natura 2000 site, Minthis has been designed to respect and sit lightly on the landscape. Striking stone facades blend seamlessly with indigenous Mediterranean planting, large windows reflect the endless sky and frame incomparable views, and an abundance of outdoor spaces encourage life al fresco.

    Super Nature

    A traditional element of Cypriot architecture, courtyards are connecting and cooling features of each home. With the sky as a ceiling, water features and a balance of light and leafy shade, courtyards encourage air flow, are social hubs in the home and offer protection from the heat.

    Courtyard Living

    First impressions are everything. At Minthis, pioneering design weaves together natural and architectural drama with an effortless elegance. Charming brick walls of Cypriot limestone and panels of Iroko hardwood warmly connect with the settings, while walls of glass and striking entryways make a modern impact.

    The architecture has the power from a humanistic point of view to regenerate you visually and sensorially.
    Nik Karalis, CEO Woods Bagot

    Architectural forms are intuitive, letting nature be the luxury. The spirit of traditional mountain villages – their simplicity, their community and their oneness with their surroundings – echoes within the modern sophistication of each structure and space.
