Ora & Alabaster · Atelier I — Firstfruits
The first collection
Within moments of walking through a door, your body has already decided how it feels. Long before you notice a single finish, your nervous system has read the height of the ceiling, the curve of a wall, the weight of stone, the sound of water. It is asking one question: am I safe here? Every home in this collection was designed to answer yes.
No two alike. Each one carries a name with a hidden meaning, revealed only to the one who holds the keys.
The modern villa
Havilah
A deep stone arch, then a room held inside two stories of curved glass.
Flat roofs stacked at different heights. A two-story tower of warm rough-cut limestone holds the arched entry and black steel door. Smooth warm white plaster, a white oak volume over a wall of steel and glass, and a stair that climbs all the way to the sky.
The renderings
Two ways to the sky
The open terrace
A steel pergola wrapped in vines over a glass rail. Open to the treetops, made for warm evenings and long summer suppers.
The four-season room
The same rooftop, enclosed in black steel and glass. A sky room for every season, with the stars overhead in January.
Signature moments

- A tower stair that climbs to the sky.

The stone villa
Elim
You hear the fountain before you see the door.
Old-world stone below, pale oak above. A front loggia of three stone arches, and two curved stone stairs sweeping up from the fountain court to a balcony full of flowers. Above it, a great arched window opens the salon to the evening sky. A stone and oak carriage barn sits beside it.

Morning to evening
Signature moments
How it feels to live here
- A fountain on the center line, heard before the door.
- Supper under three stone arches, with the fire table lit.
- Stairs that curve up and out of sight, to flowers and the evening sky.
- A salon behind the great arch, vaulted to the timber ridge.
- And the name, revealed only to the one who holds the keys.
