A Coastal Masterpiece of Modern Design

Spanning five levels, including two underground floors, this 1,250 m² residence is defined by sculptural curves, panoramic glazing, and a striking white façade that evokes the form of a luxury yacht.

    • 4 spacious bedrooms (2 en-suites, 2 with shared bath)

    • 150 m² garage for 8–10 cars

    • Cinema room, gym, sauna, and spa with stainless steel indoor pool

“Every detail was designed for both grandeur and functionality—from sea-facing glass facades to the panoramic elevator connecting all levels.”

Bespoke Luxury Finishes
