A BEACH HOUSE

This project became the first time that the studio collaborated with artists. This resulted in the space design incorporating photographs by a local photographer used as blinds for the glass doors.

Karl Antao created a seeming ‘coffin’ for a music system.  

Natural elements found along the beach, became a source of inspiration for the design of specific elements. Lights and curtains were designed to replicate the phases of the moon; telling the story of the moon.

To reinforce the relationship of the inside with the outside, the bedrooms incorporate magnifying lenses that allow for a better view of the beach along which the house is located.

An aquarium with fish also pays homage to the ocean. 

The house has allowed for many conversations which the studio previously had not had an opportunity to engage with, not only in terms of the design of the elements, but also by the very manner and speed with which the process was executed. The outcome was a highly customized and crafted home.
