Sea waves and beach life, relaxed atmosphere and soft evening sun seem to be constantly present in this house. The house stands on a steep slope, in the place of the previous structure - so that half of the previous structure was preserved, including the fundamental sandstone fence and a garage.

The new “T-shaped” concrete structure was designed in such a way that it rests on the garage room as a solid foundation. The structure as if balancing on one leg, like a white ballerina. Concrete forms refer to the aesthetics of the 60s.

Materials selected to withstand difficult weather conditions: to salt, humidity and wind. Concrete is reinforced with wood and gravel. The architects used special whitish cement and formwork to obtain textured concrete.

The house has three floors. Located on the third level, the main living area has a magnificent view of the ocean.

The architect of the project Raffaello Rosselli presented his own interpretation of a fine natural palette: he used a light finish and took into account the ever-changing light that penetrates through specially designed blinds as if through a filter.
