Nestled within the tranquil pine-filled landscapes of Melides, Thurstan envisioned a collection of diverse components, encompassing residences, a spa, an art barn, a restaurant, and a hotel. Drawing inspiration from the surroundings, the design philosophy centered on streamlining both interiors and architecture. We crafted spaces that seamlessly integrated with their environment, fostering a quiet coexistence with the natural world. This was achieved through expansive openings that blurred the boundaries between the interior and exterior, inviting the beauty of the surroundings to become an integral part of the experience.
“our aim was to seamlessly infiltrate the sand-filled pine forests, blending modern aesthetics with natural landscapes"
