01 — The idea

Designed around the changing character of daylight.

Orientation

The plan is set on an east–west axis. Rooms are measured by the hour they are used rather than by the function they carry.

Section

A single roof plane lifts toward the water. Its underside is finished in oiled timber so the low afternoon sun is returned into the plan.

Threshold

There is no front door in the conventional sense — arrival is a sequence of three shaded openings, each narrower than the last.

Restraint

Four materials, no more. Everything that could have been a detail was resolved as a joint or left out entirely.

Bathing

A restrained retreat composed fromwater, stone and reflection.

03 — Palette

Four materials, held still.

Aurelia is built from a deliberately short list. Each surface was chosen for how it behaves at the two ends of the day rather than for how it photographs at noon.

  1. M.01Pale travertine, honed

    Stone

    Floors and the kitchen monolith are cut from a single pale bed. Honed rather than polished, so the surface holds light instead of throwing it back.

  2. M.02Coastal oak, oiled

    Timber

    Decking, soffits and the deep window reveals are oiled oak. Left to silver at the seaward edge and kept warm where the house is inhabited.

  3. M.03Low-iron, minimal frame

    Glass

    Full-height low-iron glazing removes the green cast from the sea view. Frames are recessed into the structure so the opening reads as absence.

  4. M.04Still pool, dark bed

    Water

    A shallow pool runs along the western terrace. Its only task is to double the sky and carry moving light back onto the underside of the roof.

04 — After hours

Architecture continues after sunset.
