This lovely mod business firm from Comporta, Portugal occupies a fairly small slice of land which has an unusually foursquare shape. This straight impacted the mode in which the surface area has divided into indoor and outdoor spaces as well as the overall design of the house itself.

The projection was completed in 2022 by studio GSS Arquitectos. They gave the firm a simple and low-profile look with a big flat roof and a concrete shell. The roof forms an overhang towards the garden, creating this really nice transitional surface area betwixt the indoor living spaces and the open outdoor areas.

The site has a gentle gradient and is bordered by a beautiful pine forest. The tall trees rise behind the house and create a nice backdrop which helps its modern architecture stand out fifty-fifty more. There's plenty of vegetation out in the garden surrounding the pool and the patios which helps to add together a calm and serene vibe to this whole area.

The interior of the business firm is also quite simple, featuring concrete floors and ceilings and white walls throughout. The interior spaces take piece of cake admission to the outdoor shower, puddle and the various exposed areas around the business firm.
