Green Frame Garden: A Villa Where Art Meets Nature

Mirna Sisul's Award-Winning Design Blends Luxury with Natural Elegance

In the heart of Istria, the Green Frame Garden villa stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of art and nature, crafted by the talented designer Mirna Sisul. This holiday villa, a recipient of the prestigious Iron A' Design Award, is a sanctuary of comfort and style, reflecting the Mediterranean landscape it resides in.

The Green Frame Garden is not just a holiday villa; it's an immersive experience where every corner speaks of the designer's dedication to integrating the villa into its natural setting. The interior design draws directly from the colors, textures, and materials found in the surrounding environment. This connection is most evident in the panoramic dining area, which serves as a seamless transition between the indoors and the outdoors, allowing guests to dine amidst the beauty of nature.

Mirna Sisul's approach to the villa's decor is meticulous, aiming to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort without compromising on luxury. The walls are adorned with Sisul's vibrant artwork, infusing the space with life and color. The art pieces are not mere decorations; they are integral to the villa's identity, warming every inch of the interior with natural daylight and cheerfulness.

The realization of Green Frame Garden was a labor of love and craftsmanship. Local carpenters handcrafted the kitchen and bathrooms, ensuring that each element of the villa was as unique as the artwork it houses. The use of natural and locally-sourced wood for the creation of tables and bathroom panels further cements the villa's connection to its locale.

Guests of the villa often remark on the homely atmosphere, a sentiment that is echoed in the design's intention to create a "like home" experience. This has led to a high rate of return visits, a testament to the villa's successful design and concept. The villa's operation as a luxury holiday destination in Istria, Croatia, has been greatly enhanced by its artistic and design-focused approach.

The project, which spanned from November 2021 to May 2022, was not without its challenges. Sisul faced the typical hurdles of space constraints, the integration of functionality and style, and the coordination with contractors and suppliers. Despite delays and miscommunications, the vision for the villa was realized, culminating in a space where art and design coexist in harmony with the Mediterranean landscape.

The Green Frame Garden stands as an exemplary model of how art can be integrated into interior design, particularly within the context of holiday villas in Croatia. It showcases Mirna Sisul's artistic approach to creating spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also resonate with the natural beauty of their surroundings. The villa, now adorned with the Iron A' Design Award, is a celebration of the synergy between art, design, and nature.
