The light and harmonious atmosphere achieved arises from the dialogue between the organic lines of the building and Melina's minimalist features . “We wanted to bring features to the project that would reflect the architecture of the building,” says the designer. “ We opted for white finishes, textures, neutral colors and striking furniture pieces.
