The Brief
A frond-front villa reconceived as a serene, sea-facing family home. The brief: erase the developer envelope, and rebuild the interior around natural light, water and a single restrained material palette.
The Architecture
The plan opens around a double-height entry hall that bisects the house, public rooms unfold toward the lagoon, the private wing turns inward to a quiet courtyard. A continuous travertine floor binds the ground level; oak panelling and brushed bronze define vertical thresholds.
Materials
- Travertine, book-matched, large format
- European oak, vertical fluting and ribbon panels
- Brushed bronze, door pulls, reveals, stair balustrade
- Hand-troweled lime plaster, feature walls
- Calacatta Viola marble, kitchen and bar
The Project, in sequence
On record
“Quiet, by design. The villa feels older than it is, like a house we have always lived in.”

Outcome
Delivered turnkey, including bespoke joinery, furniture coordination and landscape. The residence is occupied by the family and was photographed for the studio's monograph.
