Positioned directly opposite the beach in Buddina, House on Pacific is a brand-new coastal residence defined by restraint, materiality and an exceptionally considered approach to natural stone.
A thoughtfully curated selection of travertines is used throughout the home, with each application designed to celebrate the material in a different way. Rather than relying on excess, the interiors pair seamless rendered floors with warm, tonal stone to create an atmosphere of understated luxury – calm, tactile and inherently connected to its coastal setting.
Vein Cut Travertine forms a defining part of the material palette. In the kitchen, the stone is crafted into a sculptural island incorporating a curved stone leg, requiring a high level of fabrication and execution to achieve its seamless form. In the living space, the same material takes on an entirely different expression as a substantial plinth, combining a raw natural face with a honed upper surface. The contrast celebrates the stone in both its untouched and refined states while creating a piece that is equally beautiful and functional.
In the powder room, Rosso Travertine introduces a richer and more expressive moment. Its warm red tones and raw-faced finish become the hero of the space, providing deliberate contrast to the home’s otherwise restrained palette.
Throughout the residence, the relationship between rendered surfaces and natural travertine demonstrates the impact of material restraint. Every stone element feels purposeful, allowing texture, craftsmanship and natural variation to provide the detail.
