Casa Marea: A Mediterranean Retreat by Arteficius Design Studio

Overlooking the historic old town, the harbor, and the Acropolis, this Mediterranean sanctuary captures dramatic sunsets and rainbows across the French Alps—offering both beauty and a deep sense of peace.

 

Entirely conceived and designed by Arteficius Design Studio, Casa Marea is a sensorial journey into the essence of Mediterranean living. Its architectural language is defined by graceful arches, butter-toned walls, bespoke joinery, and a soft, neutral palette that brings together texture, materiality, and light in perfect harmony. Without any vis-à-vis, the 20-square-meter terrace extends the living experience outward — an al fresco haven suspended between sea and sky.  
 
Each detail of the apartment has been carefully curated to evoke timeless calm and quiet sophistication:  
— Original marble flooring brings natural depth and enduring elegance — Bathrooms finished in warm béton ciré offer a seamless, tactile experience — A bespoke kitchen and joinery, handcrafted in Italy by Arteficius artisans — A curated blend of contemporary Italian design and vintage finds from European auctions — Shell-inspired plaster wall sconces, designed in-house by Arteficius Design Gallery — Ceramic and brass electrical fittings by Fontini, a nod to artisanal details.
