Mindelo
The inspiration came from the client's needs and preferences, from the location just by the beach, and from the kind of favorite lifestyle. From an old 80's construction, a new house was born. Fully reconstructed, updated, and modernized, both outside and inside suffered full renovation in a modern style though respected and inspired by the house's age and character. The renovation transformed a 40-year-old house into a modern though classical beach house with all the comforts of modern life.
