Materials: o Aluminium Screen – A defining feature of the home, the screen is crafted from laser-cut aluminium metal with a custom-designed pattern. This allows for dynamic light play, while also providing privacy and shading, adding both functionality and sculptural beauty to the façade. o Rendered Finishes – The exterior incorporates render and stone cladding, creating a clean, monolithic, and elegant façade that emphasizes the home’s bold yet minimalist aesthetic. o Venetian Plaster – A standout element, Venetian plaster is used at the entryway and on the front door, creating an earthy, cave-like entrance with a concealed door for a seamless look. This textured plaster finish continues throughout the home in transitional spaces and feature walls, adding depth and warmth to the interiors. o Glass & Skylights – Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and skylights maximize natural light, enhancing the home’s open and airy feel while fostering a strong connection between the interior and exterior. Bronze color-backed glass introduces a subtle textural contrast, adding a sense of luxury and refinement while mirroring the shimmering effect of water—tying back to the home's concept. o Natural Stone – Calacatta marble, known for its striking veining and timeless elegance, is used in key areas such as the kitchen, bar, and bathroom vanities, elevating the sense of sophistication and luxury. o Porcelain Tiles – Throughout the home, porcelain tiles mimic the look of natural stone, offering a sustainable and antimicrobial alternative while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. o Timber Elements – Rich natural oak is used in cabinetry and upstairs flooring, introducing warmth and contrast against the otherwise minimalist surfaces. The organic texture of timber softens the overall aesthetic, creating a sense of inviting comfort. o Brushed Metal Accents – Fixtures and finishes in brushed brass and bronze add subtle sophistication, complementing the modern aesthetic and reinforcing the warm, luxurious undertones of the design
