Orangery: A Blend of History and Modernity
The revamped Orangery retains its essence while introducing a fresh, contemporary feel. Bathed in natural light, the space has been meticulously redesigned to accommodate the evolving needs of its clientele. It aims to be a hub for personal and professional gatherings, echoing the charm that has drawn people for years.
Architectural and Artistic Highlights
The design of the Orangery is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the multi-awarded D/DOCK design studio and artist Agata Leszczynska. The centrepiece of the venue is a stunning mural that spans approximately 206 square metres, adorning the ceiling with a narrative inspired by Cypriot heritage. Leszczynska describes her work as a reflection of Nicosia’s enduring relationship with water, symbolising life and cultural convergence.
“An Homage to Cypriot Heritage”
Leszczynska elaborated on her inspiration, stating, “The ceiling fresco in the Orangery reflects Nicosia’s enduring relationship with water, a precious source of life. Inspired by traditional patio gardens with wells and streams that nourished orange trees, the artwork transforms these life-giving elements into flowing, wavy lines.” Her work encapsulates the spirit of community and the rich tapestry of Nicosia’s history.
Inviting Atmosphere and Culinary Experiences
Guests can expect an all-day dining experience that captures the essence of Cypriot cuisine, served in a setting that harmoniously blends old-world charm with modern flair.
