Two-storey house on the Mediterranean coast for a family of 6. The clients wanted to preserve and convey tthe sea atmosphere in their house, to make it vibrant yet cozy, so that the house, just like wine, would be getting better with age.

The design concept lies in combining simplicity and nature of the Mediterranean style with ‘rough’ textures of wood and stone. To achieve such effect sea-inspired elements were used: driftwoods and coarse furniture shipped by sea from other countries, ceramic tile in the kitchen resembling fish scale, mother-of-pearl lamps in the dining room, large tropical plants.

Light warm tones of room decoration add air and space to the interior, reminding of the seashore and warmth of sand. The feeling of a lively old house is created by antique wooden beams on the ceiling, natural rustic stone on the walls, cracked furniture and mirror surfaces with attritions.
