Drawing from the simplistic nature of an old-world European villa, we created a home that feels warm and timeless.

Our clients wanted a home that was in a league of it’s own; a building that stands out from the neighbouring homes, but one that also complements the surrounding landscape and will stand the test of time.

As soon as you walk into this home you feel at ease. Every surface tells a subtle story and goes beyond the norm of a traditional home. The warmth of the exposed brick, Blackbutt timber joinery, textured rendered walls and the array of handmade tiles makes the home feel heavily considered and undoubtedly harmonious.

We drew inspiration from Spanish villas and farmhouses; the raw materiality, the minimalistic nature of them and the saturation of texture and fluidity of indoor/outdoor living.

There is still very much a node to the coast throughout the home, with materials that range from rattan, oak, aged brass, linen and the familiar colours we see dotted across our coastlines.
