“She understands how thoughtful design can evoke emotion and how the right balance of light, texture and form can instantly give a sense of ease.
“This is at the heart of our ocean mentality, which invites guests to slow down and feel fully connected to their surroundings. In the owners’ residence, Patricia translated this philosophy into spaces that feel generous, grounded and at one with the sea.”

“For me, it’s about creating a sense of belonging on the water. The project was developed through a long-term trusting relationship and ongoing dialogue with the Aponte family, and this project reflects that.”
