Cosy yet simple: natural features for a harmonious interior

A purist furnishing style can quickly be perceived as cold, sterile and uncomfortable. This house in Portugal shows that there is another way and creates a living space full of warmth and coziness from a calm foundation.

The house is located in Comporta in the middle of a beautiful, hilly landscape, which is covered in the most beautiful wild flowers and trees of all kinds. The house combines comfort and purism in a very appealing way. The architecture blends subtly into the landscape - not only the color of the house wall is kept natural, but also the entire house complex. It consists of three wings connected by a long corridor. Spacious terraces invite you to read. A large yoga platform is surrounded by old cork oaks.

The furnishing style is strongly influenced by French design. The dining table in the open-plan living and kitchen area is framed by the classic “Mouette” bistro chairs from Baumann. High gables create a sense of space, while built-in benches in an organic shape provide beach flair. 

Natural tones dominate all rooms. Accessories such as striped cushions and colored lamps and straw mats on the ceiling of the entrance area add personal flair.
