The house

The house sits low against the land, with thick walls that keep the rooms cool and wide openings that frame the view.

Inside, plaster, concrete and linen stay quiet so the light can do the work. It moves across the walls all day.

Outside, the patio is the room you'll use most: coffee in the first sun, a long lunch in the shade and a fire once it gets dark.

Day

Sun on pale walls, shade on the patio and nothing you have to do. Go out early, then come back and wait out the heat with a book.

Night

The air cools and the sky takes over. Light the fire, turn off the lamps and stay outside longer than you planned.
