the project is conceived as a contemporary, eclectic home with a refined and luxurious character, where material continuity becomes the primary design language.
The overall concept is guided by unifying elements—most notably travertine—applied across multiple surfaces as a visual thread that connects and stitches together the different spaces of the house. This continuous use of stone is complemented by metal accents in brushed brass and natural stones such as quartzite, which introduce depth, texture, and contrast throughout the interiors.

The design emphasizes bespoke pieces, from a sculptural dining table that acts as a centerpiece, to the custom living room TV unit featuring local woods, imported wall coverings, and integrated mechanisms to conceal the screen. Every element is carefully curated to achieve a seamless integration of spaces through a shared material palette, creating environments that feel sophisticated yet relaxed, designed for high-traffic living and effortless entertaining.
