A Croatian Villa with Italian Flair

Marrying Italian design sensibility with Croatian building tradition, this villa is wrapped from its front facade to its interior walls in rustic rubble stone cladding. Stone steps rise to an arched doorway framed by teal shuttered windows on the entrance facade, and the same rubble stone continues along the side elevation beneath a terracotta tile roof, set against a wooded hillside. Inside, an arched stone doorway opens onto a living room clad entirely in the same reclaimed stone beneath timber ceiling beams, and a bedroom carries the cladding to its walls, with its own arched doorway opening onto the garden. Outside, a kidney shaped swimming pool finished in pale stone coping completes the property under the clear Croatian sky.
