A beach retreat embraced by the natural reserve. Three ground-level volumes resting on the dunes, between the rice fields and the serene beaches of Comporta. A conceptual structure with wooden slats that intertwines and protects them from the Alentejo Coast sun, in the poetic organic shade of the reeds.

Beach house, located among the pine forests and rice fields of Comporta, set in sand dunes, in a place of great natural beauty and strength of fauna and flora.
