The villa’s clean white palette and gold accents create an elegant backdrop for the client’s curated art collection, while Mediterranean influences and natural materials bring warmth and depth to the space.

The wide planks of Continental Oak Select with the Greige de Dattier finish form the foundation of the master bedroom. The hand-scraped surface captures the tactile quality of ship decks, evoking the client’s love of yachts.

With random widths of 25–35cm, the planks create a natural flow, perfectly complementing the soft white walls and curated furnishings. The result is a calming space where natural light enhances the subtle smoky tones of the flooring.

The bathroom’s flooring is crafted from Burmese Teak Select, finished with a custom sanded and bleached soapy texture. Chosen for its water-resistant properties, this teak seamlessly blends elegance with practicality.

The random widths (25–35cm) and lengths (150–300cm) bring subtle variety to the design, while the soft finish beautifully contrasts the bold marble bathtub and brass fittings.
This durable wood captures the understated elegance of the outdoor space, with the pool and lush greenery perfectly framing the terrace.
The outdoor terrace features African Mahogany decking, aged to a natural silvergrey patina. The fixed-width planks (17cm) emphasize clean, linear design, creating a harmonious transition between the villa’s architecture and the surrounding Mediterranean landscape.
