Green Summer, located in Vilamoura, Portugal, is a beautiful holiday home with comfort details allowing an all-year-round experience. The property has been designed to create a flowing atmosphere with relaxed lines and a touch of sophistication.

The clients expected a very spacious home with an outside opening, creating a unique space merging interior with exterior. The clients also requested that the design features the use of light tones and the creation of a timeless ambiance whilst having a strong personality. Since the clients love to entertain, all social areas are very important. Being a house to enjoy mostly Spring and Summer, is needed to be also designed to welcome Autumn and Winter.

Key to the overall design was fusing and enjoying the exterior and interior as a whole. The design works so well as there is a common thread, a continuity in the way the story of this project is told and between the spaces that are part of it. In addition, not only does it convey a good feeling inside, but it is also actually a very comfortable home. In a word: coherence.

The house itself is entirely white with only a few details of materials such as stabilized corten steel, wood or grey stone that make the perfect integration with the surrounding pine forest. Also, the dark green swimming pool, the interior design and colour coordination are a plus in the integration with the surroundings.
