Objective: Design a contemporary barn-style house in Comporta, Portugal, using exposed concrete and integrating a black mosaic-tiled pool, while harmonizing with the natural landscape. Key Guidelines: Site Integration: The house must blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, preserving local vegetation and maximizing views of the dunes and pine forests. Barn House Style: Clean, simple lines with a rustic-modern aesthetic using exposed concrete, creating a sophisticated contrast with the environment. Sustainability: Incorporate energy-efficient solutions (solar power, rainwater harvesting) and prioritize local, sustainable materials. Pool Design: A black mosaic-tiled pool that complements the house, integrated with the outdoor space, offering uninterrupted views of the landscape. Layout: Open-plan living with large windows, promoting indoor-outdoor flow and maximizing natural light. Landscaping: Use local materials and native plants to create a cohesive outdoor space with decks and seating areas around the pool. Client Expectations: A minimalist yet warm design that captures the essence of Comporta, combining modern comfort with a strong connection to nature.
