The Design

About Mindelo Detached House

The inspiration came from the client's needs and preferences, from the location just by the beach, and from the kind of favorite lifestyle. From an old 80's construction, a new house was born. Fully reconstructed, updated, and modernized, both outside and inside suffered full renovation in a modern style though respected and inspired by the house's age and character. The renovation transformed a 40-year-old house into a modern though classical beach house with all the comforts of modern life.
