A Respite in Paradise

Description

I am an architect who designed and built this small villa as a retirement home for my parents. They loved the place so much that their original intention to rent it out when they were not in residence never came to pass. When my dad died in 2013, my mother did not have the heart to go back there on her own. At 900 square feet, Para Sol is small but it has 17 windows. As its name implies, it was conceived as a device for tracking the sun through each and every window. My parents, as with myself, have been great patrons of the arts. As a consequence, there are many original works of art on display throughout the house. We invite all who seek a quiet place to read, write, and think, with peaceful views of the sea, to check us out.
