A residential mansion has appeared in one of the most picturesque and quiet places in Portugal. The owners wished that its design was very laconic so as not to overshadow the beauty of the surrounding nature. The architects fulfilled the customers’ request as accurately as possible: nothing superfluous, only simple and clear geometry.

Architectural studio Carvalho Araújo has completed work on the Gerês House, a private home located in the Caniçada Valley near Braga, Portugal. The designers intentionally made the dwelling in the spirit of minimalism in order to focus on the picturesque surrounding nature.

The house was built a few steps from the lake. The outdoor pool and gravel paths perfectly integrate the home into the landscape and create a serene aesthetic of being in nature.

Concrete and natural wood dominate the interior. Wide windows allow natural light to enter the interior of the house unhindered. The interior is no less laconic than the facade of the house. No unnecessary decor items, only simplicity, clear lines.
