1. IDEA
INTEGRATED     NATURAL

Located in an idyllic forest setting, in the southern Alentejo region, this small studio has big aims for a workspace and a sleeping loft, with technical space. The forest setting makes the space feel like a treehouse. Located in the highest point in the property, being up above the tree canopy is a unique experience we wanted to explore!





2. PROCESS
SUSTAINABLE    ADAPTIVE REUSE

Using an existing storage space and obsolete water tank as the foundation we enclosed both under a new roof to create a small, yet beautiful space that feels like a tree house!





3. SOLUTION
SIMPLE     POETIC

The studio faces the forest and sunset, creating an opportunity to capture beautiful warm light making a small space seem grand! An outdoor extension amplifies the space connecting it with  nature and serenity surrounding it.
