In Comporta, the sight of a thatch roof signals your arrival to a region steeped in architectural tradition. This home adopts the thatch roof not only as a hallmark of integration but as a unifying element under which two contrasting volumes coexist: one dedicated to day, the other to night.

The day volume, clad entirely in wood, pays homage to the rustic sea cabins of the region, while the night volume whitewashed as the traditional Alentejo homes. Between the two lies a central patio, acting as both an entryway and a transitional space. At sunset, wooden shutters or mosquito nets can enclose this area, seamlessly merging the two volumes into one unified structure.
