Luxury House in the Dunes of Troia is a True Zen Paradise | House in Tróia

ByMyProperty Life

The House in Tróia is a luxurious yet unpretentious beach house in the village of Comporta, which lies on the doorstep of scenic rice fields and mountainous Parque Natural da Arrabida.

The idea was to create something next to the ocean but respecting the surrounding nature. During construction, the impact on the environment was minimal and not a single tree was cut. Around 100 new pine trees were planted inside and outside the house, plus more than 200 native plants. The idea is to see the house completely enveloped by pine forest in a few years.

House in Tróia is set across 300 square metres and positioned on top of the dunes. It features a 60-metre-long corridor and six symmetrically positioned rooms that can accommodate up to 8 adults and 6 children. Also within the design are four interior gardens that bring the outdoors in. An open-concept kitchen, living and dining area overlooks an outdoor patio and the in-ground swimming pool.

  • Lago Vista

    This project was a true evolution of design. The owners originally approached DC+A about 10 years ago to design an informal home on their narrow cliff-side lot in the resort community of Lago Vista outside of Austin, TX. The couple worked with our firm remotely, trusting us to design their dream home. The original designs were for the narrow lot, but when a piece of land became available next door, the owners bought it and decided to re-envision their dream home to stretch across both pieces of property and leave more “breathing room” for the neighboring properties. The ultimate design is a 4,000 square foot limestone-clad home that frames views of the Colorado River from every room. The home uses some classic hill country and contemporary features that lend themselves well to the Central Texas lakeside setting, incorporated in a beautifully laid-back way. Featuring clerestory windows, floor to ceiling retractable glass doors and multi-purpose rooms, the home has an incredible quality and depth of natural light. The furnishings complement the architecture while remaining both casual and durable. Concrete floors add to the easy-going personality of the home, while redwood finishes outside and white oak inside reflect the riverside setting. The landscaping echoes the home’s relaxed nature with indigenous plants, while the Texas-sourced Antique Lueders Limestone finishing the exterior walls roots the home firmly in its setting.

  • Immerso Glamping Cabin

    Known as “Immerso Glamping”, this alpine cabin, designed by Italian architects Fabio Vignolo and Francesca Turnaturi, is true to its name: it allows guests to go off the grid and reconnect with nature in an inventive way. While the prefabricated shelter is designed to be easily moveable, Immerso Glamping is currently located in the alpine village of Usseaux in Italy’s Piedmont region.
