More Mediterranean Terraces




Here's another study of the set-back rooftop terraces on a hotel in Marina della Corricella, near Capri in Italy. The floor of each terrace is the ceiling of the room below it. Note that the terraces are partitioned by curving part-walls so that each guest room has a private space. I would really like to go here, but it won't happen any time soon. I collect pictures and books about fantasy luxury architecture, places that I would never be able to go to myself. Or perhaps there is a way to get there...I just haven't thought of it, or I don't have the determination, or I'm too lazy. I'm not asking to own the place, I just want to visit...and draw it.

Can I put a deposit down on one of these?
