A coastal-interior visual study
A palette and material grammar for a coastal residential interior
April 2026
Brief
A visual study exploring the vocabulary of a contemporary coastal interior: a light palette, natural materials and a soft, warm diffused light. Not an executed project but a research piece on aesthetic direction, articulated as a moodboard that tests the coherence between colour, texture and atmosphere. [INFERRED — Carmen confirms]
Design intent
The design intent pursues coherence between a neutral marine palette (foam white, sand, pale blue, stone grey) and a family of tactile materials: pearled light wood, natural linen, rattan, matte ceramics, limestone. The composition avoids chromatic saturation and seeks a porous, atmospheric light in which artisanal detail takes priority over decorative gesture. [INFERRED — Carmen confirms]
