Located near the sea, this three-room apartment was designed as a vacation home for a large family.
Given the limited space, we opted for simple yet coherent gestures: doors integrated into furniture volumes, perspective lines that connect and expand the rooms, and a strong black-and-white contrast that defines the composition.
Each piece of furniture was custom-designed for its specific setting, its character shaped by the point of view from which it is seen. Gold accents, expressed through metal details and transitions between spaces, bring warmth and continuity, subtly weaving the entire apartment together. The architectural approach relies on these bespoke elements, visible not only in the furniture itself but also in the way materials meet: in edges, joints, and layers of texture. A soft and light color palette creates a calm atmosphere, while natural materials such as terrazzo, wood, metal, and concrete plaster lend authenticity and a contemporary feel to the space.
