it's a 3-bedroom family summerhouse in algarve, portugal, amidst a landscape rich with olive, fig, almond trees, and native flora.
the house consists of three volumes connected by a classic axis linking two main courtyards: one for arrival and another for leisure and landscape contemplation.
the H shaped plan ensures each room has its own privacy, with a double-height central area housing the dining room, the heart of the home for daily interactions and gatherings.
