Retaining the original building envelope, the design focuses on a series of careful introductions and adaptations to craft a completely new experience. The exterior walls are left untouched in finish and footprint, adapted simply to align with current seismic legislation and building insulation requirements. The interiors of this country house are mostly drawn out in the original layout, with alterations made sparingly and only to accentuate natural lighting.

Washed in the simple, serene tones of Mediterranean white, the spaces are articulated by brick arches and beamed ceilings that encapsulate them. These lend visual definition and rhythm that draws the array of functions and areas into a coherent experience. Ornamentation is kept to a bare minimum, relying more on the inherent form and identity of an element to lend character to the design.
