At Herdade dos Abegões, the house is key to the surrounding landscape. Recovered in 2020 from an old sheepfold, it is built using traditional practices and materials from the region. Its schist walls establish a dialog between the elements; the house is in conversation with nature. It has the charm of an ancient history, and is the perfect place to sample Beira’s gastronomy, make a table a meeting of friends, or a fireplace a time of rest. Above all, there is a sensitivity present, the architect’s gesture, where home is refuge and comfort, it serves to be lived in, to make history and to create, with each departure, a desire to return.

Each of these spaces aims to reinforce the connection with the landscape, without losing its inherent intimacy. The place is evoked through the natural elements and the stories of past abbeys.
