This project is a unique boutique store located on a bustling tourist street in Cyprus, specializing in traditional sweets and local products. The designer has crafted a space that harmoniously blends modernity with Cypriot traditions. The store’s walls, made from a material reminiscent of clay or ceramics, symbolize the island’s deep connection to its cultural heritage and craftsmanship. Natural materials like straw give the interior warmth and coziness, while the modern shelving system and neatly organized products reflect a practical approach to functionality.

A standout feature is the order counter, made of copper, which references the island's historical association with copper mines, from which Cyprus got its name. The custom-crafted copper with intricate detailing adds a unique visual effect, infusing the design with an exclusive artisanal touch. Another striking element is the hanging rows of dried fruits, reminiscent of traditional Cypriot treats like shoushukos, adding to the store's unique atmosphere.

​

Though small in size, this boutique offers visitors a sense of harmony, blending ancient Cypriot traditions with contemporary design elements. The open shelving for wines and traditional products complements the overall concept, making each visit both enjoyable and memorable for every guest.
