Sunset Island Residence
A twilight view of a Mediterranean-revival residential facade by Z.W. Jarosz Architect, featuring a finely proportioned arched loggia opening directly to a reflecting pool terrace.
- What we like about this project
- Wall-mounted lantern sconces placed precisely on the stone piers of each arch create vertical ribbons of warm reflection in the pool.
