Casa Aurelia

A Home Built to Disappear Into the Horizon

Casa Aurelia is a cliffside retreat built for a couple who measure their year in two horizons, the city's and the sea's. The architecture keeps its distance from itself, travertine volumes recede into shadow, glass walls thin the line between room and coastline, and the pool holds the water's edge as if the two had never been separate. What remains is quiet, light moving across stone through the day, the terrace catching the last of it at dusk, the house settling into its own reflection by evening.
