The combination of sleek white surfaces, warm timber finishes, and exposed brick textures creates a rich and sophisticated aesthetic.
The interiors exude elegance, with high-quality timber accents adding warmth against the crisp white backdrop. Titanium-finished flooring enhances the luxurious feel, while select exposed brick walls introduce a rustic yet refined touch. The use of glass allows natural light to flood the spaces, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor connection.
Positioned to overlook the mountains, the pool area offers a tranquil retreat. The roof terrace provides a panoramic vantage point, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. The house is designed to embrace the natural fog that rolls in throughout the day, enhancing the atmospheric experience.
