Studio Arte Architecture & Design has transformed an old ruin into a unique house in Monchique, Portugal. Completed in 2024, the Quinta da Lila offers a blend of rustic charm and contemporary comfort. The spacious interiors are bathed in natural light, with modern amenities integrated seamlessly into the historic architecture. The renovation incorporates eco-friendly principles, using materials like cork for insulation and refraining from standard plaster to maintain the stone walls’ breathability.
Unveiling the marvel of modern architecture nestled within the picturesque Portuguese hills of Monchique, the House for a Buddhist is a stunning ode to tranquility and seamless design. Conceptualized by the renowned Pereira Miguel Arquitectos in 2018, this breathtaking single-story dwelling blends effortlessly with the landscape, flaunting stunning views of the Algarve coast.
Boasting elegant concrete structures that mimic the stone terraces, and the finest use of aluminum and softened granite, the property exudes an aura of serene simplicity. Notably, the infinity pool that mirrors its picturesque surroundings further elevates the overall design. This remarkable abode invites contemplation, offering an ideal space for tranquility, meditation, and transcendental experience.
