Atelier Central Arquitectos balanced those rustic elements with white paint, warm tile, and hardwood floors.

Project Details:

Location: Torres Vedras, Portugal

Architect: Atelier Central Arquitectos

From the Architect: "This project makes use of the existing building, with the addition of an expansion. By reorganizing the use of existing spaces, functionality is optimized. A space for the press took the living room function articulating the existing spaces with the spaces of expansion. The stone parts, such as the press and others, have been rehabilitated and reintegrated into the new spaces created. The existing main house retains its function rooms on the first floor, and the remaining low buildings around the courtyard harbor the bedrooms."


In pre-existing areas, the windows have wood-framed shutters with double glazing.
