Gris Polonio was not just the  realization of a House project, but  rather the creation of a space,  suspended between the dunes and  the ocean.

The four natural elements express  themselves  in  this  corner  of  the  world where the fine sand of the  Uruguayan coast merges with the  ocean waves. The fiery sunsets of the  South contemplated while enjoying  the refreshing sea breezes become  memories that are difficult to miss.

"The project for the GRIS_POLONIO house it slowly materialized after its owner's story about this magical and discreet place. From the story I understood that the beauty of these dunes and this landscape could not compete with exuberant architecture. It seemed logical to me to proceed with a minimal and discreet intervention that would let the surrounding landscape prevail.

 

Once I reached the site during the construction phase, I also designed the furnishings directly in the local artisans' ateliers.

GRIS_POLONIO was not the realization of a project, but rather the creation of a space, suspended between the dunes and the ocean."
