The preliminary study of this small house, located in the heart of the Serra de Aire e Candeeiros, allowed us to explore original solutions in a small space.
The goal was to create different areas in an open space, where the staircase acts as a separating element and the focal point of the interior design.
Every detail was designed to enhance the place’s identity, integrating stone and wood as noble and distinctive materials. Inspired by the concept of a mountain cabin, we transformed an old farm outbuilding into a cozy two-bedroom home full of character.
The windows frame the landscape and invite you to experience it, while the surroundings offer authentic experiences—from bike rides to hiking trails.
The Gabriel Alba studio stands out for the way it combines architecture and design, creating unique spaces that interact with the surrounding area.
