The Atelier
The coast writes the brief.
Private residences on the Mediterranean — designed, built, and photographed by one atelier.
Rivamare
We take on a few commissions a year. Each begins the same way — a long walk on the site, before a single line is drawn.
01 · The Bay
Villa Levante
A hillside above the bay, untouched. The house keeps low and lets the water speak.

Villa Maestrale
A cleared plot inside an old palm grove. The grove stayed; the house threaded through.

Architecture
Full design of the residence, from planning consent through construction drawings and site supervision.

Interiors & landscape
Stone, timber, and planting chosen from within a day's drive of the site.

Every finished house is filmed at dawn and dusk. The record is part of the commission.
Works in Film
