A New Beginning
•
In late 2023, our client asked us to help shape their future home (one they hadn’t yet found !) Among the properties we explored was a house in La Lucia, slightly over budget and at odds with their vision. Though a stones throw from the beach, it had been cosmetically modernised, with a constrained layout, average natural light, and little architectural coherence.
•
By stripping back surface updates, the original structure was allowed to breathe. Spatial flow was reworked, materials reconsidered, and natural light invited deeper into the plan.
•
What emerged is a calm, coastal home connected to its site, open to the breeze, the light, and the life unfolding around it.
