Simple Palette

The simplicity of Alys Beach’s palette allows details such as the spiral terminus of this stairway to be a subtle statement. The architecture of the development is not simplistic. However, the exuberance of some of the architecture’s features is tempered by a monochromatic approach. No gilded lilies here.
