The lift opens into an entrance hall with living plant details, a small biophilic gesture that softens the moment between the building and the home. From there the view runs straight through to the water. The social room holds living, dining and the main kitchen and bar in one continuous space. Conversation groups are kept within roughly 10 feet (3 m), the distance at which people talk without raising their voices, so a very large room still feels personal. Sculptural cream sofas and lounge chairs read almost as objects, while a few burnt-orange pieces carry the color of a Riviera sunset indoors. The bar and wine storage sit at the edge of the room, close enough to serve guests and far enough to keep bottles away from the strongest sun. Evening scenes shift the space from bright daylight to amber pools of light on walls and artwork.
