Design Ideology
An oasis of tranquility with 5 bedrooms and a family den invites your senses to relax. To create
a sense of escape, the house uses colors and textures inspired by Mediterranean architecture.

Kitchen
Originally, the kitchen was tucked in a corner where it received little
light. The architects reconfigured the space to increase volume and
used fluted and transparent glass to let light from the living room
enter.
