SUBJECT
A young family were looking to add the right personal touch to create their dream vacation property in a generic-looking new build.
CHALLENGE
With a quirky distribution with plenty of partitions divided amongst 3 levels, the initial layout felt tight and compartmentilized. An additional challenging feature was a narrow central patio that acted as the home’s central nucleus – surrounded by tight hallways, that led to even tighter feeling bedrooms, making circulation feel abrupt and awkward. A large rooftop terrace provided panoramic views of the sea – but also of surrounding neighbours, to much dismay of the clients. Focus was placed on creating privacy in outdoor spaces and an easy, practical flow throughout interior spaces.
SOLUTION
On the ground floor, 4 small bedrooms were unified to create 3 spacious sleeping areas : one large primary suite, and two medium sized bedrooms. Each sleeping area boasts a spacious ensuite and a private terrace, consistently fusing indoor and outdoor areas – a true mantra of the mediterrean lifestyle. Practical design features such as a laundry hanging area and under stair storage were cleverly incorporated with bespoke desing solutions to meet essential needs, while not sacrificing aesthetics. On the first floor, what was previously the primary bedroom was converted to the guest suite, with the rest of this level fully dedicated to the heart of the home – the spaces that celebrate social life, communal gathering, and breaking bread. A vast living room boasts views of the surrounding rolling hills and the distant sea shore, and seamlessly blends into dining, kitchen, and outdoor lounge areas. All of which envelop the interior patio that acts as a light portal, with sunlight cascading across palm trees in varying heights that are seen from all 3 floors. Outdoor areas, on both first and rooftop levels, are adorned with high greenery that give both privacy and a much needed softness to surrounding hardscaping. Furnishings are kept in warm neutral tones that pair delicately with warm oak bespoke joinery – with accessories in brescia stone, bronze detailing and ribbed glass adding just the right luxurious touch.
