Project Overview
Nestled along the Mediterranean coast, Chalet La Mer was designed to reflect the calming rhythm of seaside living. This compact yet sophisticated space balances functionality with refined comfort, where every detail was curated to echo the serenity of the sea just outside its windows.
The design approach blends warm minimalism with natural textures, offering a light-filled retreat tailored for effortless weekends, sunset dinners, and barefoot mornings. Every material and object speaks to a lifestyle of calm luxury and honest beauty.
Design Concept & Philosophy
The brief was clear: transform a small coastal unit into a chic yet homey getaway that feels like a vacation every day. Inspired by Mediterranean simplicity, the interiors focus on natural tones, soft lighting, and clean lines—creating an atmosphere that feels both airy and grounded.
The open-plan living area encourages seamless flow between lounging, cooking, and dining, while neutral finishes reflect light and widen the visual space. The design leans into slow living, without compromising on elegance.

Client Collaboration & Execution
