House Renovation
Nestled in the quiet expanse of the Alentejo plains, this small house stood abandoned for years, forgotten amidst olive trees and golden fields. Its simple structure and serene surroundings caught the attention of a young French couple, who dreamed of a peaceful refuge far from the pace of life in Lisbon.
What began as a crumbling shell became a personal project of renewal—a place not just to stay, but to slow down. The renovation embraced the essence of the region: soft light, earthy textures, and the silence of wide open skies.
The interior was redesigned with clarity and function in mind. Walls were moved, spaces rethought, and every corner given purpose.
The palette of whites and pale tones was chosen not only to soften the summer heat, but also to amplify the natural light and the calm feeling of the landscape outside.
Every decision in the project reflects a desire for simplicity and balance—a gentle rhythm in contrast to the noise of city life.
Now, what was once abandoned has become a warm, welcoming holiday home, where quiet mornings and long evenings invite reconnection with nature and with time itself.
