Inside the idea

Everything begins
with an opening.

Three quiet wings frame a courtyard. Living spaces open toward the tree; the sleeping wing sits behind a deeper stone edge.

Furnished U-shaped house plan: living to the west, kitchen and dining to the north, two bedrooms and bathroom to the east, with clear circulation around the courtyard.

The heart of the house

Life around a tree.

The courtyard brings daylight and a view of the olive tree into the surrounding spaces. A sheltered place for a morning coffee or a long evening.

The material study

Less, but
more considered.

Stone for depth. Lime for light. Oak for warmth. Explore the junction up close.

Three tactile surfaces: rough limestone, chalk limewash, and honey-coloured oak

A wall with weight.

Rough-cut limestone gives the outer walls depth. The uneven surface holds shadow instead of hiding it.

The studio approach

A good house starts
with a good question.

How do you want
to live?

We begin with everyday habits, the character of a site and the things worth keeping. Drawings and materials turn those conversations into places with a clear purpose.

New homes, thoughtful renovations and interiors. One continuous conversation, from the first sketch to the smallest junction.
