We designed Olive Hill as a space to support a different way of being. A place where the environment itself begins to shift your state. Every decision was intentional. The scale, the materials, the flow between spaces - each designed to hold both connection and stillness, movement and rest. It is spacious and open for shared experience, yet intimate for quiet contemplation, or a memorable glass of wine together.
Drawing from old-world Moroccan and modern Mediterranean influences, the design brings together plaster, stone, and hand-carved wooden beams from Nuristan in Afghanistan’s Swat Valley, along with antique doors from Persia and India. These elements are not merely decorative - they create a feeling: timeless, grounded and quietly transportive.
Our hope is that Olive Hill quietly elevates and inspires you - and all who enter.
