Maison FdP

Located in the Alto Alentejo in Portugal, this contemporary house was designed to sit naturally in its surroundings. The architect Gonçalo Bonniz favoured sustainable materials, combining raw concrete with Kebony Clear wood. The latter, used for the cladding and the deck, will shift to a silver-grey tone over time, harmonising with the landscape.

The orientation and siting of the building were conceived to minimise the impact on the surrounding countryside while optimising the views and the daylight. Inside, Kebony wood also appears in the bespoke furniture and doors, reinforcing the visual continuity.

The project illustrates an understated, elegant architecture, where design and sustainability meet to create a unique living space.
