The programme aims to enhance the resilience of critical UK defence assets in Cyprus while ensuring infrastructure meets modern building standards and supports contemporary ways of working. The first 46 homes have officially been handed over to Dhekelia Station Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Tim Wildish, with families expected to move into the properties shortly. Designed specifically for the Cypriot environment, the homes incorporate measures to improve resilience against seismic activity. Cyprus sits within an area of known earthquake risk, and safeguards against earthquakes have been built into the homes' design and construction. The properties have also been designed with service families in mind, with comfort-cooling measures in place to help families cope with Cyprus’ high summer temperatures.
