Casas Barrocal
Status: in development
Before a single stone was turned, the layers of archaeology and geography were peeled back, allowing the natural heritage of the Barrocal estate to inform the approach to this new phase of São Lourenço do Barrocal.
The arresting granite formations from which the estate takes its name, the ‘barrocais’, tell compelling stories of life and testify this respectful attentiveness to the elements, the topography and past wisdom that make this not a development, but a seamless extension of everything that has gone before.
Each Barrocal House is a result of a differentiated approach that carefully positions it in relation to the unique character of the land, where it is discreetly tucked in the curve of a small valley or embracing a rock formation, establishing an intimate dialogue between privacy and views.
