A low-key modern house offering a quiet, unhurried retreat from city life has been attracting attention. Set near Meco Beach on the outskirts of Lisbon, Portugal, the single-story detached home spans 300 m² (about 3,229 sq ft, 91 pyeong). Its simple, open plan places a communal living area — combining the living room, dining area and kitchen — at the center, with four bedrooms and three terraces arranged around it.
The interiors, finished in exposed concrete and mortar, create a distinctive, compelling atmosphere. The house includes an open living room, dining area and kitchen; four bedrooms with en suites and terraces; additional bathrooms; a laundry room; terraces; and an entry hall.
Large windows on three sides bathe the main space in natural light and ensure steady airflow. Beneath a high ceiling, the open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen form a generous communal zone. Modern furnishings, chosen to reflect the owner’s sensibility, are arranged to produce an elegant, polished family setting.
The living room pairs a raw exposed-concrete ceiling with a dramatic glass chandelier. A large sofa, side tables and a rug are neatly arranged to create a relaxed, comfortable seating area.
A feature zone that opens onto a terrace has been styled with lounge chairs, a rattan tea table, a rattan rug and a standing lamp, creating an intimate, inviting nook.
The dining area is centered on a large, simply designed wood table that can seat up to 12, creating a relaxed home-dining environment where couples, friends and guests can gather for meals and afternoon tea.
The open kitchen, laid out for efficient circulation, features a marble island with an integrated sink and wood built-ins finished with a marble backsplash — a practical, high-end example of kitchen design.
Bedrooms, composed in white, gray and wood tones, embrace a refined modern style and form distinctive private retreats.
In bedrooms with open en-suite bathrooms, the sink area, shower and toilet are clearly separated. The mortar finish gives these bathrooms a solid, singular character that’s unique to this home.
