Property Description
Here, everything is where it should be. The house is organic and feels on your skin.'
Located 14km from Beja, this 360-ha Montado surrounding the house takes us back to the silence and senses that this Alentejo provokes.
It is one of the best-preserved areas of this province, covered by the characteristic cork oak and holm oak forests, gently undulating, sparsely populated, where you can, on cloudless nights, have a view of the starry night as it is difficult to find in other areas of the country.
The house was designed as if it were a work of art made by four hands. The project was designed by Architect Bartolomeu Costa Cabral, known for his simultaneously modern and classic language and for the great attention he gives to the relationship between the construction, the surrounding space, and the living conditions: natural lighting, the relationship between materials, the intelligent functionality of spaces, and their articulation.
This unique and spectacular property consists of four leading houses, each with four bedrooms (one en suite), a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a saltwater swimming pool, two large studios, and two more agricultural support houses.
The house is self-sufficient.
- The thermal control of the roof is ensured by a 5cm layer of water protected by insulating slabs, with a fan device designed to increase water evaporation during the summer, cooling the water and the house, and during the winter this air box remains closed so that the insulation of the plates protects against the cold.
It gets water through a borehole, electricity from photovoltaic panels, hot water through solar panels, a sewage pit, and central heating with a diesel boiler. It also has a cistern to collect rainwater for the irrigation network and eventual reserve.
'The place, the mud construction, and the program are the roots of the design of this house, whose program was defined in response to the family's needs and desires, realized from the beginning in a list of 'wants,' not only functional but also the environment of the house itself. House. While preparing the project and its construction, the house benefited from close collaboration between the owners of the work and a couple of artists, she being a ceramicist and he being a sculptor and painter. The choice of rammed earth construction appeared as evidence due to the climatic aspects, protection from the Alentejo heat, creating an environment with thermal inertia, and also because it is a traditional technique suitable for a building with just one floor. The beauty of the place and its isolation, with the house located within a large property, constituted strong stimuli for defining the project, which is a response to the surrounding nature.
