The family wished to work with an array of grey tones– furthermore a material palette consisting of natural materials. Following their appreciation for crafts and dedication towards being mindful of the environment, all the materials were sourced consciously and local artisans were commissioned to work on the floor and wall finishes.
"Imagine a beach, in the middle of winter. Nestled within the boundaries of a rocky terrain, the waves hitting the boulders, crashing along the shore washing the rocks and pebbles lining the cold wet sand."

"The brief has been translated abstractly to create the environment of a moody winter beach, with grungy grey walls for the overcast skies and a terrazzo floor, flowing in and out of the spaces much like cold foamy waters on a stormy beach. Stone pieces are embedded in the floor, resembling rocks in the sand drowning into the waves."
