I · Arrival · Blue hour
A quiet
approach.
An avenue of cypress and olive, low ground light along warm stone. The house waits at the end of the drive — a single window lit, hillside beyond.
II · Exterior · Dusk
Villa
Cipres.
Low, single-storey massing in honed travertine and limestone. Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the living volumes onto a mirrored reflecting pool. The house is arranged around the arc of the sun.
III · Living · Morning
A room
of long light.
Double-height ceilings, plaster walls, a low sculptural travertine fireplace. The linen curtain moves before you do. Morning light rakes across the oak floor from the eastern glazing.

IV · Kitchen · Bespoke
Stone,
drawn quiet.
A monolithic limestone island with waterfall edges anchors the room. Handleless matte oak millwork lines the back wall; an alabaster pendant softens the whole. Nothing rattles.

V · Primary suite · Threshold
One room,
one horizon.
Linen-dressed platform bed, a plaster headboard wall, a slim brass reading sconce. Sliding glass opens directly onto the private terrace.
VI · Terrace · Golden hour
An edge
on the sea.
An infinity-edge pool merges into the Mediterranean horizon. Two travertine loungers, an old olive in a stone planter. The last hour of light lingers here.
