Ana Mernik Looking Out Week 8

Architect Manuel Aires Mateus recovered two old fisherman huts on the Portuguese coast, specifically a place called Comporta, known for white sandy beaches, wine, and beautiful scenery. The huts are a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The 28 square meters offer an elementary kitchen, modest bathroom, two armchairs and a bed, and a terrace overlooking a river. There's also a canoe offered for the guests. The huts are primarily wood, creating an interesting mix of materiality: wood, sand, and water. The project also applies to our current studio Bathhouse project, with humble furniture inside and a shower interestingly placed on the outside facade.
