We were asked to participate in the study of the project from the first steps of construction and this was one of the main components of a distinct result.
From the beginning, the points that we had to pay attention to and organize were pointed out αnd this helped us to successfully furnish with targeted products, made and adapted to the space.
We redefined the first architectural plans that existed and came up with the final layout of the spaces. Then, we studied the lighting and gave specific directions to the craftsmen.
The color orientation we followed is strict to ‘allow’ to the sea to "enter" uniquely into the space. This is why we used no colour inside the house.
The study of the furniture was based on specific directions. In the minimal design, in the functionality of the space and in the daily needs of a house that is partly for living and partly for rental.
We chose a highly minimalist sofa with even more abstract tables to accompany it. Anything else we considered unnecessary. For the selection of the upholstery textile, we initially worked with the main focus on sun resistance as the space is based on in-out living, without curtains and roller throughout the main hall. We preferred outdoor textiles with high uv resistance and special waterproofing and anti-chlorine treatments so that one can use the seat even after using the pool.
We offered a solid oak dining room combined with metal chairs, with an interesting modern shape and without any color… simply with a touch of detail in the weave to allow the magnificent view to give color to the space. Positioned in front of the fully open glass pane, one has the feeling of having lunch outside.
Elegant and comfortable bar stools of medium height invite you to participate in cooking.
Modern continental soft beds, in black colour, offer a very strict pattern in the bedrooms. Combined with high quality mattresses from the American Brand Sealy Posturpedic, they complete the required luxury. All 4 rooms was decided to have a universal character, with main points of difference, the bedside tables made of metal and porcelain surfaces with different colors and textures. The minimal lighting from above completes elegance and each room is self-identifying mainly from armchairs and pillows of different colors in burnt shades. White Curtains and roller blinds almost dissapear in the room's white walls and they offer full-darkness for a relaxed sleep not only during the night, but also during the day!
The basement is a special part of the house because the visitor can see the bottom of the pool from the living room. A soft touch of color was added with a silent sofa and a large foot stool that allows the gaze to wander in the space without obstacles and offers the possibility to host extra people when the property is rented.
We gave a comprehensive approach to the space and the bedroom, separating them from the living room with tinted windows that can separate the space by a black-out roller in the same color as the frames.
The basement space is completed with a bar under the metal staircase, which communicates with the main entrance of the house. Cognac leather bar stools are added for a touch of luxury and comfort.
