↗Project Perianthes - 2026
01.01IMAGINED & BUILT / BEFORE & AFTERAt Perianthes, light sets the pace. Filtered through sheer curtains, it crosses the arches and lays a sequence of soft shadows on the floor. The eye travels from the armchair to the patio, then returns indoors: a subtle continuity emerges between spaces.
