The brief

One architectural idea, shown through three views: a house that opens between two rock faces toward the sea.

The study follows a short shot list: an exterior hero, an interior that shows how the architecture meets the rock, and the master bedroom.

Visual direction

Setting
Two rock faces frame the entrance. The sea stays in view from the courtyard, the living space and the bedroom.
Materials
Pale stone, warm timber and olive planting, with the rock left raw where it meets the building.
Light
Warm light, pale surfaces and views toward the sea.
Composition
Wide, level views that keep the opening to the sea in frame.

Selected views

The set follows a path through the house: the entrance courtyard between the rock faces and a reflecting pool, then the living space where the rock rises inside the room, and finally the master bedroom opening to the water.

Pale stone, timber and olive trees recur across the views.

Film

An eight-second AI-assisted interior concept film moving from the living space toward the sea.
