Pedro Henrique Arquitecto created the new Santa Maria House, a modern farmhouse in rural Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal.
The design team created the home off of surviving stone and structure on the land, constructing a concrete body that is interconnected through a new wooden base. Placed on acres of farm land, the home has a loft-like feeling with exposed wooden ceilings, concrete walls and large windows that allow beautiful views in each room. With a simple white color scheme mixed with basic structure, the home gives of a comfortable environment that values simplicity. Each part of the home has a specific use, determined through a design with a flowing floor plan.
The new Santa Maria House is the perfect blend of high-end amenities with traditional farm land, creating a one-of-a-kind home.
