Portuguese architectural firm RMLL Arquitectos converted an [old chapel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-1627) into a stunningly modern [private residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-local-house). The gorgeous Quinta dos Floreados house in Santo Varao, Portugal is an awe-inspiring example of contemporary cubist form architecture merging with traditional design. The architects were able to incorporate a peaceful atrium, luxurious [swimming pool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aip-azia-villa) and other everyday accouterments of modern day living into the existing structure while maintaining the simplicity of the original building and the tranquility of the surroundings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Cubist Form Architecture:** Embracing the fusion of modern and traditional design elements to create visually striking and functional spaces. - **Conversion of Religious Structures:** Repurposing old chapels and churches into unique and stylish living spaces, offering a blend of history and modern living. - **Integration of Nature in Architecture:** Creating serene and harmonious environments by incorporating natural elements into architectural designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunities to innovate by reimagining and repurposing existing structures, combining different architectural styles, and focusing on sustainability and nature integration. - **Construction and Real Estate:** Meeting the demand for unique and personalized living spaces, while considering the preservation and adaptation of historical buildings. - **Luxury Home Furnishings and Decor:** Creating products that complement the aesthetic of contemporary chapel homes, combining modern and traditional elements for a cohesive and elegant design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warehouse-Transformed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-many-faces.md) - [Curved Surface Portuguese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-within-a-few-lines.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md) - [Pavilion-Style Art Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galeria-house.md) - [Concrete Brutalist Hilltop Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedro-domingos-arquitectos.md) - [Wine Tourism Guest Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinta-de-faisca.md) - [Floral Wall-Defined Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-ptios-de-ptalas.md) - [Dynamically Patterned Portuguese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/087-house.md) - [Coastal Lookout Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-tejo.md)
