Portuguese Essence
“White, wind and cork: architecture that breathes the Mediterranean.”
Limoeiro house
Casa Limoeiro brings back vernacular materials and knowledge, updated with a clean language, where light and silence build the experience of the space.
Located on a hillside in the Alentejo countryside, Casa Limoeiro was designed as a place to stay. Pure whitewashed volumes are interspersed with deep windows in cork and Corten steel, creating dense, silent shadows. Inside, the natural stone flooring, raw linen upholstery, and custom-designed wooden furniture evoke memories of Portuguese folk architecture. The project respects the landscape without camouflaging itself, striking a balance between local identity and contemporary expression.
