Architect Leonardo Rotsen signs the space with a deeply personal and sensorial concept. Inspired by his life experiences and the desire to honor terracotta in its purest and most contemporary form, Leonardo envisioned a space that celebrates natural elements such as clay, water, and light — a poetic encounter between the rustic and the refined.
