Maison Sable
A twelve-room coastal retreat that pairs sand-coloured earth tones with relaxed, modern detailing.
Project Overview
The brief was to reposition a tired guesthouse as a boutique retreat. Our response focused on atmosphere and guest flow, creating a place that feels relaxed, warm and quietly memorable.

01
The Brief
The owners wanted to compete with larger resorts without losing the intimacy of a small property. The existing building had twelve rooms, a dark lobby and a rooftop that guests rarely used. Budget and a short off-season closing window meant the work had to be phased and largely reversible.
02
The Concept
We drew on the colours of the beach at dusk: sand, driftwood and soft clay. The lobby became an open lounge with a bar, the rooftop gained shaded seating, and each room was reworked around a low timber bed facing the sea.
03
Materials & Details
Clay plaster, rattan, jute rugs, local terracotta and reclaimed timber keep the palette grounded. Lighting relies on woven shades and warm wall washers. Most furniture was produced by craftspeople in Chattogram.
04
The Result
Occupancy rose in the first season after reopening, and guests now linger in the lounge and on the roof. The property feels like a retreat rather than a stopover.
