In Comporta, a fishing village, huts were scattered along the shore. They were simple structures consisting of thatched roofs, sand floors, and not much else. Here is a traditional Portuguese fishing hut, renovated for modern
living by Aires Mateus and Assoc.
The sand floor is warmed by a
radiant-heat system. White slipcover sofas and chairs give lots of comfy seating.
Recently, the serene, seaside spot of Comporta has become a fashionable summer
destination for the elite. Joao Miguel
Rodriguez was one of these newcomers when he bought two adjacent
fishermen’s cottages and hired a cutting-edge Lisbon-based architect,
Manuel Aires Mateus, to transform the pair into a stylish weekend
getaway.
A pair of guest cabanas connects to the older buildings in the compound via wood walkways.
In the living area, a kitchen island of white Corian stands out against the thatched walls. Long wood Dining table and bright white chairs add more contrast to the space.
In the bedroom, a modern Gervasoni bed is framed by Tolomeo lamps. The room is anchored with a straw beach mat area rug.
