Design Solution
Warm tones of crème and white stones, mixed with the specially limed floor again convey the occupant with a relaxed feeling.The maxim of simplicity has been employed when selecting furnishing and fittings; with the exception of the bright coloured carpet which are reminiscent of the bold impact of the sea, the sun, the beach and the surrounding trees.
