02 Field note

How the room is composed

layout
Generous linked salons, recessed balconies, structural wall bays, and sliding divisions create long cross-ventilated plans that can shift between family life and formal hospitality.
materials
Local limestone, terrazzo, walnut, blackened steel, plaster, concrete breeze block, wool, linen, cane, and ceramic pair durable mineral surfaces with crafted domestic warmth.
furniture
Low geometric sofas, built-in banquettes, walnut cabinets, stone-topped tables, slender lounge chairs, and compact bar units reinforce horizontal architectural lines.
lighting
Full-height metal windows, patterned screens, balcony overhangs, globe pendants, brass floor lamps, and concealed shelf lights temper strong coastal sun across deep rooms.
decoration
Abstract rugs, modern regional ceramics, one sculptural vessel, restrained artworks, and olive, rust, cream, and dark wood give the rigorous frame a distinctly local cadence.
