The shaded pool deck serves as an transitory space towards the waters of the pool, the sea and beyond. It also allows to for an inside-outside feel without overpowering the elegant interiors and breathtaking coastal views.m

The basement parking was also designed in modern contemporary style, but with extra gloss and extra lux levels that make the cars appear shiny and luxurious. The glossy painted walls and ceiling serve as a room divider that distinguishes the driveway from the parking slots, and the cement-effect plaster offers a visually textured contrast.m

Both spaces happen to share one similar element: half-arch lighting. To which the pool deck would be illuminated by recessed slender flexible LED strip profiles, while the parking would have thicker suspended linear light. This array of illuminated half-arches gives depth leading the the spaces further back.m
