Restored Historical Stone Building Transformed Into Modern Country House

Architect Paulo Martins turned this historical stone house in Portugal into a 506 square foot cozy modern weekend retreat.

The small house has two floors. The social room is on the ground floor, enjoying the direct relation with the outdoor areas, while the suite, located on the first floor, can be reached by a storage staircase. The original stone walls are preserved and contrast charmingly with the modern interiors.
