A private villa where every specification decision was governed by salt air. Interior joinery was built on stable cores with sealed edges; external furniture was made in teak and detailed to weather openly rather than resist it.
The challenge
Continuous salt exposure and high humidity across a mostly open-plan house.
Our solution
Stainless fixings throughout, oil rather than film finishes, and an annual maintenance schedule handed over with the property.
