In this oversized industrial context, the new terminal required a strong visual identity, while also providing a place of calm for transient passengers.Īpproaching Cyprus by ship, the first view of the new building is the undulating roof of titanium zinc, whose aspect changes according to the time of day and the season. The main point of entry for the shipping containers that serve the island's trade also provides a stopover for warships en route to the Levant, as well as serving as the docking point for the many cruise ships that tour the eastern Mediterranean. The harbor site for the terminal is located within the principal port of Cyprus- a busy multi-purpose facility. It re-opens this summer to welcome new passengers aboard for the 2021 season and take its position in the cruise itinerary of the Mediterranean. The terminal was completed shortly before the global pandemic brought the cruise industry to a faltering halt. Irwin kritioti architecture was awarded the first prize in the competition set for the new building.
