In 2024, we embarked on a journey to create something truly special—a home in the timeless village of Zaraće, where our roots run deep. Our goal was clear: to build a house that would honor the past while embracing the comforts of modern living. We wanted to tread lightly on the history of Zaraće, preserving its essence while introducing contemporary elements that would enhance the living experience. And so, we set out to create a perfect harmony of old and new.
As the warm sun bathed the picturesque landscape of Zaraće in golden light, we began to bring our vision to life. The exterior of our home tells a story of heritage and resilience, crafted from rocks sourced from the remnants of an old, abandoned house that once stood on the same plot of land. Each stone carries with it the echoes of bygone days, a tangible link to the past that now forms the very foundation of our new home.
