The project
Tucked along the coast of Marve, these intimate beach cottages were conceived as a quiet escape from the city. The design takes its cue from the landscape, embracing a pared-back palette of white and natural tones that allows the sunlight, sea and surrounding greenery to become part of the interiors.
Textured walls, woven rugs, linen, cane and timber introduce warmth and tactility, while touches of colour and carefully chosen artwork bring a sense of personality to the otherwise serene spaces. Simple furniture and natural materials keep the mood relaxed and unpretentious, allowing the cottages to feel connected to their coastal setting.
Sunlight moves through the rooms throughout the day, shifting across textured walls and quiet corners. The result is an easy, understated retreat shaped by the rhythm of the sea.
