Light, tranquillity and simplicity are thethree basic design elementsin this house.An abundance ofnatural light fills the living roomthroughsliding glass panels,which take up one entire wall. Peace and simplicityare reflected in thebroad,whitewashed parquetfloorboards. The minimalist design continues in thegeneroussofas, solid andclean cut dining room table anditsrobustdining chairs. Life-sizeart hangs on the walls, where the gamebetween light and darkrepeats itself.
The living room and terrace lie adjacent to each other, the sliding glass panels allow the rooms to either merge into one single space or separate into two rooms. The terrace grants direct access via stairs to the beach and can be closed off from the outside with glass panels. That way, no matter the weather, it’s always possible to get the most out of the sun and the beach. Teak flooring and furniture give the patio a nautical look and feel. Baroque style chandeliers and the sleek, brushed steel gas fireplace provide contrast.
