A weekend villa where indoor and courtyard share one floor.

A weekend villa where the indoor floor and the courtyard share one level, so the house reads as one long room. We dropped the thresholds, ran a single stone underfoot, and let the plan breathe from the door to the water.

Lime plaster, teak, and the salt breeze do the rest. The colour comes from the materials and the afternoon, not the paint.
