The Mountain Shelters are part of the “The Vagar Country House” development project in Belmonte, Portugal. The challenge was to create an object that would evoke the imagery of traditional Shepherds’ Shelters, taking advantage of the natural and untamed qualities of the land, which spans nearly 250 hectares.
Interior
The goal in creating these Mountain Shelters was to provide spaces and experiences in full connection with nature, even in remote locations, based on sustainability principles. The simplified and modular assembly of each Shelter results in a compact volume with clean lines: an equilateral triangular prism developed as a single body, where the bathroom and storage volume is the only element separating the living and sleeping areas.
Materials
Certified wood used in the construction ensures quality and durability while allowing it to age beautifully and naturally. The interiors are flooded with natural light thanks to the large, glazed windows, dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces.
