A farm reimagined as a lived landscape.
Set within a 9-hectare agricultural estate in Borba, the project restores the relationship between architecture and production — vineyard, olive groves, orchards and gardens — shaping a continuous and inhabitable territory.
The main house is carefully stripped back and rebalanced. Additions are removed, proportions clarified, and traditional elements — stone, vaults, lime plaster — are preserved. Spaces extend outward through terraces shaded by vines.
Water remains central. The former irrigation tank becomes a place of rest, while channels return to structure the land.
New interventions are quiet and embedded. The agricultural support building is partially buried, allowing the vineyard to continue over it.
A place where production, landscape and living coexist — calm, precise and enduring.
