Residential > Villa, Hideout
In the heart of the Tabernas Desert, Spain, where golden sands meet endless skies, stands a single villa that redefines desert living. Its completely curved body flows like a dune sculpted by the wind, while rectangular entrance steps lead you inside—an intentional contrast of geometry and softness.

A modern masterpiece carved where land meets sea. This villa on the shore of the Persian Gulf isn’t just a home—it’s a dream etched in green marble and kissed by coastal light. Crafted from single-piece green marble stones, the structure is both monolithic and organic.

Named Coral House because of its coral floors and decks, this seaside home is intimately tied to nature from its conception. From the choice of the coral stone that our client loved so much, to the design that was worked around all the existing palm trees, so that none had to be cut down.

Making sure a house offers a safe, cozy, and convenient living space is crucial when choosing one. Safety elements including accessible emergency services, secure building designs, and neighborhood watch programs help to foster well-being and peace of mind.
Marcus Beach House is a contemporary alteration and addition to an existing beachside home with a convoluted plan arrangement. The brief was to provide privacy to the street frontage whilst creating an expansive open plan living space that connected these areas to front and rear gardens.
