Neoclassical grace on the coast

This composition pairs neoclassical symmetry and ornament with a coastal lightness. It typically uses plaster, painted wood, stone, linen, and natural fibers in a palette of white, sand, pale blue, and soft gray. Key elements include refined moldings, balanced proportions, tall windows, relaxed upholstery, and details that echo sea-facing homes without becoming rustic.
