Vintage furniture and bespoke pieces, including large wooden benches and custom shelving, complement the space, adding character and a unique charm.
The kitchen continues with bespoke lacquered Douglas fir plywood cabinetry, a sleek black granite worktop, and a dzek ExCinere tiled splashback that harmonizes beautifully with the floor tiles in both the dining area and the terrace. The built-in oven and integrated cabinetry contribute to the kitchen’s rich, warm ambiance, making it as functional as it is visually appealing. At the far end of the room, the dining space offers a beautiful wooden table, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the natural light that floods in from the terrace, highlighting the meticulous detailing throughout the property.
Adjacent to the living area, the main bedroom is a sanctuary of calm, bathed in natural light from the well-placed windows that enhance the room’s airy feel.

At the end of the hallway is the main bathroom, a true masterpiece of design. The bathroom features a luxurious bath, a walk-in shower, and a heated towel rail, all framed by Marazzi Zellige tiles in varied terracotta hues. The bespoke lacquered Douglas fir joinery adds a touch of warmth and sophistication, creating a space that is both functional and elegant, a perfect retreat for relaxation. The second bedroom, equally inviting, mirrors the main bedroom's tranquillity and practicality. It features a king size double bed, built-in wardrobes, and access to the private courtyard, ensuring the room is filled with natural light and continuing the home's theme of connection with nature.
