Achille's Cottage

Deceptively large, due in part to the addition of multiple terraces, the cottage boasts more than it actually has. A modest solarium on the roof opens out to a verandah that traces the building perimeter. Below, the living room occupies half the floor space; one entire wall is fitted with French windows overlooking a deck. Two openings at either end of the opposite wall lead to an L-kitchen (with a half bathroom) and two bedrooms (each housing a full bathroom), respectively. Achille frequently remodels his cottage, usually twice a year or more. Not only do his fickle whims demand it, but it's an excuse for him to hire workmen he can flirt with.
Currently, the theme is Brazilian - cherry wood, bright yellows and reds, floral prints, potted palms, hanging creepers, and enormous floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere.
