Melides

Where tradition and nature shape the meaning of home

Surrounded by ancient cork oak trees in the tranquil landscape of Melides, this private residence is currently under development—designed as a quiet retreat where architecture, memory, and land come together with intention.

With a deep reverence for Portuguese tradition, the design embraces simplicity, restraint, and emotional warmth. The home unfolds through soft volumes and honest materials, inviting a slower pace and everyday rituals grounded in nature.

Functionality and elegance are equally prioritized: the interiors are crafted not to impress, but to be lived in—to age, to evolve, and to hold the essence of family life. Rooted in place and time, Melides is a home in harmony with its surroundings, designed to breathe with the landscape.
