What you seeThrough a deep horseshoe arch in a shaded wall, a bright view of the sea and a far headland, with a patch of sun on the tiled floor.

What it meansThe horseshoe arch, wider above than at its base, is one of the defining forms of Islamic architecture in North Africa and Spain.

Where it worksStriking and calm, it suits a living room, a study or the end of a corridor.
