A neutral palette of white walls and concrete floors defines both the exterior and interior design, and is the base for a minimalist aesthetic of modern sophistication. White-painted sliding shutters and a collection of slim, white outdoor furniture further enhance the prevailing sense of subdued refinement, while the use of natural stone for the patio pool, kitchen counters, sinks and benches anchors the house into the region’s landscape. Inside, natural wood finishes and traditional textiles add warmth in an otherwise austere environment.

The central patio functions as the house’s hub where guests can hang out day and night, accompanied by the relaxing sound of a fountain that flows into a square pool, a reference to the water tanks traditionally associated with local country houses. A spacious kitchen, conveniently located next door, makes it easy for guests to enjoy meals outdoors, while two additional patios wedged between the four bedrooms provide guests with more intimate outdoor spaces. The expansive rooftop terrace on the other hand is ideal for sunbathing, blessed as it is with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape and direct access to the pool, courtesy of a staircase that literally dips into the water, while a herb garden in the back fills the air with fresh fragrances. Generously bathed in Mediterranean light and serenaded by the soothing element of water, Casa Luum is the definition of a modern sanctuary.
