A pigmented cement pool designed by Nani is set into the hillside to drink in the dramatic views of the Costa Brava coast beyond it

The naturalistic aesthetic found throughout the house is utterly serene. These striking lights are made from recycled plastic bottles and palm tree fibre. PET lamps, Álvaro Catalán de Ocón. Table, Piet Hein Eek

SITTING ROOM

A rug, one of Nani's designs, marks out the lounge space, which hosts a pleasing melange of antique, vintage, and contemporary pieces. Tres Vegetal rug, nanimarquina and Elisa Padrón. Sofa, Mario Ruiz. Vintage stool, Alvar Aalto. Butterfly chair by Antonio Bonet, try 1stDibs

KITCHEN

Copies of the original iron-frame windows were fitted throughout the house. They have been oxidised with sea water for a rust finish that complements the rustic interior setting. For a similar vintage enamel pendant light, try Pamono
