House of Luz

The House of Light, nestled in the leafy suburb of Sintra, southern Portugal, where the warm inland air meets the cool ocean breeze. This home is meticulously crafted with a blend of microclimate-awareness and timeless elegance, offering an unparalleled living experience.

Amidst a serene lemon grove, a white sculptural wall envelops the entire residence, creating a shaded sanctuary that embraces every room with a sense of tranquility, comfort, and privacy.

Indulge in blissful moments of relaxation on a southern terrace, with a lap pool concealed within an oval reflecting pool. Discover a bridge that stretches over untamed grass, leading to a suspended meditation deck. Embrace nature and experience a profound connection that rejuvenates the body and soul, creating distance from the lively activity of nearby Lisbon.

The House of Light is a celebration of sculptural symmetry, reduced to soft minimalism, where the interplay between design, nature, and the lemon grove transcends ordinary living.
