Beach
Beach composition is defined by light, weather-tolerant materials and a relaxed, open layout that responds to sun, wind, and views. Common elements include timber, white plaster, natural stone, linen, and glass, often paired with shaded terraces, wide openings, and indoor-outdoor transitions. The palette stays airy and coastal, with sand, white, pale blue, sea green, and driftwood tones.

— The style
What defines it
Timber, white render or plaster, stone, rattan, linen, and glass are common, often chosen for a casual, durable finish.
Soft whites, sand, beige, pale blue, muted green, and weathered wood tones create the coastal feel.
It works well with open-plan living, covered terraces, large sliding doors, and simple detailing that keeps the interior bright and breezy.
