I · The Peninsula
Some houses sit in a landscape. This one disappears into it.
On Hvar's quiet northern coast, past the last houses of Basina, a tiny peninsula of pine forest reaches into the Adriatic. At its heart stands a low cubist pavilion whose walls are almost entirely glass — so that from inside, the forest and the sea are not a view. They are the room.
Ten thousand square metres of private grounds surround the house. The only sounds are cicadas, wind through the pines, and water moving over pebbles in the cove below. This is the island as it was meant to be lived: slowly, barefoot, and mostly outdoors.
