This newly built penthouse in beautiful Portuguese Armação de Pêra overlooks a vast natural area and is close to the village’s charming small fishing port. The natural beauty outside is reflected in the stylish furnishings, which draw the sea inside.
The functional hallway with inset custom cabinets leads you to the open kitchen, with apero capability: tall bar stools by Vincent Sheppard invite a friendly chat while cooking. Above the bar hangs lighting in alabaster by Carpyen – an authentic Spanish brand that mines and crafts its own local alabaster.
In the dining area, the table with organic shape by Antwerp-based Toon de Somer stands out. That organic shape is reflected in the lamp by Bazar Bizar above the table. A rug in burlap by Tine K Home and the small tea lights by Bazar Bizar complete the look.
The tableware on the table is hotel porcelain, but has the looks of pottery. The advantage: hotel porcelain can take a beating because it is fired at higher temperatures. So it’s ideal if you want to rent out your vacation home or if children come with you on vacation.
Eye-catchers in the living room are the handmade armchairs by PAU by Latorre, upholstered in chunky woven linen by Designers Guild. The artificial flowers and plants by Silk-ka bring nature inside, while the unique curved oak sideboard and organic shapes of the Carpyen wall lights give the room a soft, natural flow.
Accessible from every room, the large terrace is an extension of the indoor space. Furniture by Vincent Sheppard and loungers by Ethnicraft create a perfect transition from indoors to outdoors. Lights by Vincent Sheppard and rechargeable and dimmable alabaster table lights by Carpyen set the tone for balmy summer evenings under the stars. The wood-look parasol is made of fiberglass, making it more resistant to brisk sea breezes. The outdoor shower and white garden hose are from Belgium’s ZEE.
Lots of light and air also in the bedrooms, thanks to wall decoration by Bazar Bizar, furniture by Ethnicraft and linen bedding by French Vent du Sud. The bed by Coco-mat is completely natural and can be adjusted to suit everyone’s sleeping preferences. The sofa bed in the third bedroom folds open in width, extending only one and a half meters wide. Thus, this room can be used as the owners’ office or studio. The bedrooms also overlook the beautiful surroundings, which only adds to the vacation feeling.
