This three-storey home blends seamlessly with its coastal surroundings, offering breathtaking ocean and greenery views. Inspired by palm fronds, its design balances curves and straight lines creating dynamic light and shadow. Organic interiors feature fluted travertine, timber, rattan, marble and seagrass wallpaper. A clear sightline enhances flow, while expansive glazing connects indoor and outdoor spaces. Earthy tones and handcrafted furniture add warmth, complemented by layered rugs and decorative lighting, resulting in a richly textured, inviting and stylish living environment.
