A facade shaped by the beach
This composition pairs a beach setting with a facade built from weather-resistant materials such as timber, concrete, stucco, and stone. The palette usually stays light and sun-washed, with sand, white, driftwood, and soft blue tones. Broad openings, shaded terraces, slatted screens, and breezy proportions define the look.
