Past lush planting on the street level, a staircase travels down a storey to the main parts of the house. It comprises three bedrooms and the fluidly connected living, dining and kitchen zones. 

Low-slung cream sofas hug a corner of the living room and cloister around rough-hewn coffee tables in an inviting manner. Here, the fluid lines of Chinese artist and novelist Gao Xingjian’s Double Vue painting projects movement onto the still walls. His poetic ink-on-paper composition juxtaposes with heritage door panels at the kitchen that the owner acquired at an auction.  

Outside, the garden terrace is given equal attention by Casas, who crafts it to segue with nature. Waxed pine walls envelop a sofa in grey upholstery using fabrics from Romo. A bamboo-and-polycarbonate pergola framed in iron completes the bucolic hideaway. “The goal is to enjoy the sea views with maximum comfort,” Casas explains.

While this level enjoys a more intimate dialogue with the landscape, the second-storey master bedroom suite feels more exclusive, with impressive views to wake up to. The spacious room is defined by a ceiling tracing the gabled roof’s triangulated peak, according it with a lofty feel. Casas inserts built-in closets in lightly painted, saw-cut pine. It frames the bed, which is made snug with linens from Maison de Vacances and cushions from Teixidors. Gervasoni bedside tables accompany Bamboo pendant lights conceived by Israeli designer Arik Levy for Forestier, melding soft and hard materials.    

A large sliding door leads into the master bathroom. When opened, it further enhances the room’s spaciousness. Here, smoky grey micro cement walls and black-painted skirting continue the neutral foil. Twin cement-coloured Shui washbasins from Cielo Ceramica echo the touches of the greyscale colour scheme. Custom-designed vanity mirrors bordered by a black iron framework, a black towel holder, black bath and washbasin fixtures and even the door handle point to Casas’ thoroughness.
