Minimalist Farmhouse Apartments Overlook Praia da Fábrica

The individual villas feature outdoor traces with landscaped gardens and modern, minimalist interiors.

Traditional Design Elements and Family Chapel

The outbuildings were subtly transformed under the keen eye of architect João Pedro Falcão de Campos, whose project focused on respecting the sanctity and authenticity of the surrounding landscape without compromising the agricultural history that underpins the farm’s traditional identity.

A small private family chapel is a hallmark of Campos’ quirky minimalist approach and a further expansion of self-contained bungalows with swimming pools lie towards the bottom of the property closer to the sea.
