Natural materials play a central role in defining the character of this home. The prominent use of wood, particularly in the exposed beam roof structure and flooring, brings warmth and texture to the interiors communicating a strong connection to nature. This craftsmanship extends to the exterior, where the roof is finished with traditional Mediterranean ceramic tiles. Natural stone paves the circulation areas throughout the garden, adding a subtle layer of authenticity and durability. Its organic texture and earthy tones complement the overall palette, seamlessly connecting interior and exterior spaces. This choice of materials not only enhance the home’s aesthetic appeal but also contribute to a timeless, grounded ambiance that feels effortlessly welcoming.
The open-plan living area has hi ceilings, exposed beams, a warm fireplace and an abundance of natural light. A neutral color palette and light wood floors create a sense of continuity, while metal black accents in the staircase and sliding glass doors inject a refined modernity. The custom staircase, with its floating oak treads and minimalist railing, is both a design focal point and a functional connector of space.
Every corner of this home is a testament to curated simplicity.
The outdoor-indoor flow is masterfully achieved through large sliding doors that open to a covered patio area where comfort meets panoramic beauty. A fully-equipped outdoor kitchen and dining space invites slow meals and warm gatherings.
The bathrooms continue the design narrative with refined stone textures, vessel sinks, and thoughtfully chosen mirrors that enhance both space and light. Each room is crafted with a focus on tranquility in daily rituals.
This home is a space that feels lived-in yet elevated, where every material and form serve both function and feeling. It’s not just a house. It’s a home: thoughtful, grounded, and beautifully alive.
