With views over the ocean, surrounded by plots of land for the cultivation of grapes, Pa.te.os are seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape of Alentejo’s coastline. The wine-producing work follows deep respect for the preservation of soils and the ecosystem.
Four houses projected by Manuel Aires Mateus merge with the Mediterranean landscape. The design explores and conveys the concept of patios (or courtyards), where interior and exterior blend together and connect with nature — an idyllic scenery of the southern region where more sunny days let us take full advantage of the outdoors.
