A retreat in the Spanish countryside, restored room by room around what was already there: vaulted stone walls, exposed wooden beams, arched openings, terracotta floors. Nothing is hidden — the renovation works as a careful edit, not a replacement.
The brief was for a filmmaker who wanted a space that read differently at every hour. So the project is really a lighting project. By day, glare-free daylight bounces off the white stone, and the rooms read as bright and quiet. By night, three layers come on independently — warm cove light under the beams, a single pendant per room as a focal point, and discreet wall-washes on the art — turning the same volume into something cinematic.
Furniture is contemporary but heavy: a Soriana sofa, a travertine plinth, a Wassily reference in the study. Materials repeat in three notes: stone, oak, linen.
