Oppenheim Architecture’s approach involved opening up and simplifying the labyrinthine floor plan and facade, creating spatial clarity and a palpable connection to the coastline. Key design decisions included replacing multiple staircases with a single sculptural staircase and integrating indoor and outdoor living spaces.
