Renaissance grace on the coast

This composition pairs Renaissance symmetry with coastal lightness. It typically uses stone, stucco, plaster, and arched openings, softened by breezy layouts, weathered timber, and details that feel open to sea air. The result is formal in proportion but relaxed in material and atmosphere.
