Villa Côte

Villa Côte was designed around a single principle: nothing should compete with the ocean. Every surface, texture and piece of furniture was chosen to recede — to give the light and the view maximum authority over the experience of the space. The palette is derived entirely from the coast: bleached sand, sea-glass grey, the warm wood of driftwood.

Open-plan living areas extend towards wide terraces with no threshold — the boundary between interior and exterior made deliberately ambiguous. Washed linen curtains move with the breeze, raw-edge timber tables carry the marks of craft, and plaster walls absorb and scatter the afternoon Atlantic light. The villa feels as though it grew here rather than being built.
