Just as the Mediterranean-style arches frame the al fresco living spaces within, the palm trees frame the exterior architecture. The terrace was left clean to balance out the architecture's rich classical lines and ornate pool detailing.

Classical architecture overlooks grand outdoor areas with balconies, pools, fountains and sculptures.

Wooden ceiling beams and handmade copper lanterns break up the concrete facade in the al fresco living spaces. One-of-a-kind pieces, such as tree trunk bases, avoid the matchy-matchy look and add unexpected elements. Floor inlays of grey shell stone add texture and ground the furniture.

The placement of the bar helps keep the conversation flowing while cooking. The homeowners and guests can dine on the glass-top table or in the lounge area. The arched doorway connects to family room for easy access. Inspired by the vaulted ceilings, designer Bea Pila added handmade copper lanterns to cast off a warm and comfortable ambience.
