Bauhaus ease by the beach
This composition pairs Bauhaus geometry with a coastal setting through flat roofs, clean lines, and simple volumes. Common materials include white stucco, concrete, steel frames, glass, and warm wood, balanced by sand, sun, and sea air. The palette stays restrained: white, off-white, gray, black accents, and muted natural tones.
