Meco House
The kitchen is made for slow mornings and salty air. Concrete countertop, cast on site and lightly polished — just enough to smooth the surface and seal it. Two oak shelves float above it, no upper cabinets, no clutter, just enough. A kitchen that feels like it belongs there — because it does.

The walls between the old kitchen and bedroom were demolished to create an open space where the new kitchen and living area now reside. This strategic renovation not only maximized natural light within the house but also opened up the social areas to the garden.

The dining corner was made for long lunches and sandy feet.

The bench and shelf were custom built, finished by hand in mineral plaster — just like the walls. Finished in shades of sand, it nods to the old homes of Meco. Rough in just the right way.
Same technique, same tone. They blend into each other like one quiet structure.

The bedroom was pared back to simplicity and quiet - the kind of calm that belongs by the sea.

Fisherman details slip in — ropes, knots, small touches that anchor the room to Meco’s fishing roots. Tranquility as the main design move.
