“At first sight, the sprawling 1,758-square-metre residence, spread across a 13,580-square-metre site, does not announce itself in a single gesture. Instead, it unfolds slowly, through low-slung stone volumes, filtered light, deep overhangs and corridors that frame only fragments of the landscape at a time. Arriving here feels strangely cinematic – less like stepping into a conventional luxury holiday home and more like entering the opening sequence of a film that reveals itself scene by scene. That sensation is not accidental.”
