Secret Doors and Unusual Interiors Define this Seafront House

This minimalist seafront house designed by Italian firm Fabio Fantolino is what the laid-back waterfront life is all about. This inconspicuous exterior artfully conceals ultra-modern, bright white indoors, but for a long view through a large glazed wall. Inside, natural and artificial light play on the textured walls, adding interest to the minimalist interiors. On the other side of the glass, an alfresco patio gets wafts of salty air drifting off the water. See seaside architecture and style at its best!
