A white spiral staircase that contrasts with the surrounding stone walls is a single of numerous modern day interventions that architect Elisabete Saldanha has extra to this converted farmhouse in Portugal.
The residence and its former stables are positioned just outside the city of Guimarães, in a grove of oak, chestnut and cork trees.
Elisabete Saldanha has transformed the building into a modern residence by means of a series of additions and upgrades.
“The plan was developed to meet recent needs while keeping its authentic qualities,” mentioned Saldanha.

“All the historical factors of the creating have been preserved and restored and even replicated, with a view to producing an identity in which the duality among the past and the existing coexist in the same space.”
The authentic 4-storey home was built across a series of stepped terraces and Saldanha’;s interventions had been created to fit in with the existing topology and optimise access to the gardens from the numerous levels.
