This Spanish cliffside property with sea views seems to have taken on its location's oceanic characteristics. Blending a combination of glinting marine-hued turquoise tiles and patterned wall coverings with raw earthy tones, including a kitchen island seemingly crafted from barnacles, the home seems born from its exterior landscape.

The interior and garden of Villa Smriti Curtilage are continuously interlinked. Large ground-floor windows and glass doors bring the peaceful nature of the garden inside, alongside tree trunk- and stone-imitating furnishings. A central glass atrium, meanwhile, coaxes natural light down to the home’s basement level.

The small 70sqm Berlin apartment has been cleverly repurposed with bespoke multifunctional and transformational furniture to serve a family of six.
