Simple Natural Lines

Walking on water effect

The 20 meter infinity pool lies horizontally, extending its visual play towards the seafront view. All this creates simple natural lines that blend within the greater natural picture. 

Interiors

The interior is thought as a continuous and fluid space, where from any point you can obtain the surrounding panoramic views. A double height space serves as a connection between the two floors and acts as an in-between area, an inner garden with olive trees that gives the home a larger scale and creates the feeling of being inside-out. Day areas and recreational spaces such as SPA and a Home Cinema are located on the ground floor, while 4 bedrooms are situated on the first floor.

The entrance and inner garden are surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation as the connection to the landscape is emphasized by the 2-sided transparency.
