Private Resort Living
Thoughtful Design, Timeless Spaces
Conceived as a private retreat on a grand scale, the project was designed to evoke the ease and intimacy of resort living while retaining the clarity of contemporary architecture. Clean, modern lines establish a sense of order and restraint, softened by rich fabrics, natural textures, and a carefully layered palette of timber, linen, sisal, and a mix of ceramics & natural stone.

The main entrance lounge unfolds through floor to ceiling windows, which create an immediate sense of openness and bring in natural light. Bespoke lounge chairs, crafted in italian durable recycled materials, are paired with wooden blinds, linen curtains, and a sisal rug to create a contemporary & warm atmosphere with subtle coastal influences.
Lighting plays important role here and adds depth and character to the composition, complemented by ceramic pieces by Fernando Moreno and bespoke fixtures by Hidalgo Monci.

Entrance Lounge & Hallway
A warm and welcoming entrance where coastal influences meet contemporary craftsmanship.
Opposite the lounge seating, a substantial wood console and mirror create a composed focal point, set against a ceramic paneled wall that adds texture and artisanal character. Reflecting the warmth and layered materials of the space, this quiet lounge offers an inviting place to pause, unwind, and settle in.
The hallway unfolds with a quiet sense of sophistication, defined by a palette of refined neutral finishes. Wood detailing to the glass handrail introduces warmth and natural texture, while dramatic lighting casts a soft glow across the walls, highlighting the artwork and adding depth and atmosphere to the space.

Show Kitchen & Dining
At the heart of the residence
The show kitchen and dining area form the social center of the project, where circulation paths naturally converge. Conceived as a sculptural presence rather than a working kitchen, the space is defined by clean lines and a restrained material palette that echoes the natural finishes found throughout the home.
The open kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room and main lounge. The multifunctional island serves as a buffet or informal dining area, merging functionality and timeless elegance. Bespoke armchairs provide comfort and sophistication, creating a relaxed and contemporary atmosphere.

Textured natural surfaces create a seamless connection to the surrounding interiors, while the open plan layout encourages gathering, conversation, and a relaxed sense of resort living.

Cinema Lounge
The relaxed elegance of private resort living.
Designed as an intimate retreat within the residence, the cinema lounge offers a relaxed setting for viewing and gathering. A sunken sofa is seamlessly integrated into the floor, creating a generous and immersive seating arrangement that enhances both comfort and connection.
The warm, natural material palette introduced at the entrance continues here, with natural wood, linen, durable upholstery and richly textured fabrics bringing softness and cohesion to the space.
Carefully selected pieces, including side tables by Andrew Martin, introduce a layer of recognizable design and understated sophistication. The result is a refined yet inviting environment where contemporary lines and coastal influences come together in the spirit of private resort living.
