The transition from the social area to the pool upgrades the patio to one of the most interesting spaces of the hotel-restaurant. Employing wood partitions as a sculptural element, the pool becomes the undisputed main feature. It is a different type of minimalism at play, not about absence but about visual lightness. The water garden, as it was named, is filled with dense plants, vying for more privacy.

The atmosphere is rooted in a feeling of quiet luxury, from the confident geometry as the recurring element to the collection of art and worldly objects throughout. Minimalism serves as the guideline to achieve such high standards.
