The structure is defined by load-bearing perimeter walls constructed from locally sourced stone, giving the three volumes a monolithic character.
Stone walls are either left exposed or finished with white render, creating variations in texture and light across the interiors.
Timber furniture, staircases, and doors introduce warmth and craftsmanship, balancing the mineral character of the stone, terrazzo, and concrete surfaces.
