Casa Sant Barbara
SANT BARBARA DE NEXE, PORTUGAL
4 BR | 2 BA | SLEEPS 6
Standing out in contrast to the earthy rural environment, this striking home is defined by beautiful geometric block forms, spare clean lines and pristine whites. Set within an expansive nature reserve in the hills of Faro and surrounded by acres of olive groves and peaceful countryside, the bleached structures form a series of interrelated living areas.
Designed by internationally-renowned Portuguese architect Pedro Domingos, this modern installation employs a fresh, selective approach to minimalism and simplicity.
