Overview
A 3,600 sq ft coastal retreat designed for long stays. Salt air, soft stone, and long sightlines set the tempo for furniture and lighting.
02 / Challenge
The house faced severe glare in the afternoons and had little storage for a family that arrives with seasonal kit. Rooms felt bright but restless.
03 / Approach
We layered sheer and solid window treatments, deepened reveals, and specified mineral finishes that soften the light. Built-in joinery absorbed storage without adding freestanding clutter.
04 / Result
Evenings settle earlier. The suites feel like quiet harbours; the living wing stays open to the view without fighting it.
