This innovative construction endeavor includes a studio and two holiday homes (eva and maria) crafted by Studio Moto. Driven by the delight of design, they purposefully navigate the balance between the ordinary and the adventurous. The outcome is a composition that is understated, invigorating, and deceptively uncomplicated.
