This property, completed in 2015 in the outskirts of Coimbra, Portugal, sits within an area rapidly becoming populated with family homes.
Although the house currently sits in a relatively secluded spot, with the imminent development surrounding it, the design ensures the property will retain a sense of privacy and isolation, whilst still feeling welcoming and open.
