An 1890s return-veranda villa becomes the foundation for a bold new vision — one that honors heritage while embracing modernity. The original stone has been lovingly restored, while a contemporary addition of steel, glass, and carefully selected stone extends the home into open-plan living, entertaining, and a luxurious master suite. At its heart, a resort-style pool and garden gather light and life, dissolving the boundary between old and new. This is architecture as dialogue — between past and present, permanence and progress.
