Supporting Property Developers In Designing Transformational Homes While Achieving Profit & Making A Real Difference In The Development World
Our Alentejo project is coming together beautifully—but this is far from an average project. Working with buildings constructed in the old traditional ways comes with its challenges. To give you some context: these buildings were designed with 1m-thick walls to act as a thermal barrier against the intense heat of dry summers and the biting cold of winter. This incredible heritage means we’ve had to get creative and innovative. By carving out wall space, introducing beams to counterbalance the structure, and insulating from the outside, we’re able to adapt while preserving the essence of these historic properties. Take this bedroom as an example—it’s the smallest room in the property, yet it doesn’t feel small. It feels right. Here’s why: By integrating the fitted headboard within the architecture, we maximised the available space, making room for a comfortable queen-size bed and fitted wardrobe/storage joinery. As a result this bedroom is cozy, functional, and beautifully balanced. Even as the smallest room in the property, I wouldn’t mind calling it my own! Creative design is powerful. It can overcome challenges, preserve history, and deliver spaces that feel just right. Have you worked on any projects with unique design challenges? I’d love to hear how you approached them!
Love the fitted headboard idea.
