Casa dos Sobreiros - Three Bedroom House, Sleeps 6

BREAKFAST AND DAILY HOUSEKEEPING INCLUDED

As the home's architects state, "The objective of the project was the construction of a single family house on a plot of extraordinary morphological characteristics, which remained almost intact and unchanged. The land, with approximately 12 thousand square meters, is located in an area of natural protection due to the existence of several cork oak trees, where the implantation of the house allowed the maintenance of all the existing trees.

The home's construction elements prioritize the visual impression created by the house and its framing within its surroundings. The outside of the house is all built in concrete with a traditional process using pine wood boards and with the stereotomy designed according to the scale of the scenery. The slope on the façades suggests the continuity of the land around it, disguising the house in the ground and in nature also by choosing a color which highlights the verdant green of the surroundings.

Inside the house, there are big and bright spaces, with the kitchen opening into the dining and living room. On the perpendicular wing are the three suites and on the upper floor is a wide and panoramic space. The floor is covered in black tiles, which continue to the external patios, both on the roof and on the ground floor, opening up to the pool and outdoor dining area. The dark tint of the pavement contrasts with the wood of the flowing, suspended furniture that runs through the kitchen, dining room and living room and whose asymmetry is similar to the house and the furniture in the corridor. The overall effect is of a deep reverence for nature, serenity, and thoughtful simplicity.

The house has three bedrooms and three and a half baths, and comfortably sleeps up to 6 people. It's located in the famous Vinho Verde wine region, with several of the top rated vineyards located close by. It also sits nicely between Porto (a 50 minute drive) and the Douro Valley wine region (a stunning 45 minute drive).
