Scope Of Work
Designing a cohesive living environment where architecture and interiors merge into a timeless spatial experience.
Architectural Design
Our team developed a series of interconnected volumes that respond to the sloping terrain, organizing the house around light, privacy, and framed views while maintaining a strong dialogue with the surrounding forest landscape.
Interior Design
A palette of natural stone, warm chestnut wood, textured lime plaster, and bespoke finishes defines the interiors, creating a calm and tactile atmosphere rooted in contemporary Portuguese sensibility.
Custom Furniture
Each furniture piece was custom-designed to align with the architectural rhythm, ensuring continuity between structure and interior while enhancing comfort and everyday usability.
Landscape & Outdoor Living
Terraces, reflective water features, native vegetation, and sheltered outdoor areas extend the architectural experience outward, reinforcing a fluid relationship between interior life and nature.
Exhibition Space
A cascading crystal installation composed of frosted, cognac, and clear elements, drawing the eye upward and accentuating the apartment’s impressive ceiling heights.
