Nowadays it's fashionable to rent small villas or private residences on the beach. One of them we will talk about in this article.
This is the home of Casa Joía. Located on the picturesque seaside village of Carvoeiro in the Algarve, Portugal.
It was the roof's dramatic view and the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean that gave the owners the idea of turning the former fisherman's hut into a sophisticated private residence. For help in generating ideas for the home, they turned to Studio Arte Architecture& Design and Lusco Fusco Concepts.
The project was developed quickly, and in 2012 the renovated room was already welcoming its first guests. Both the façade and the interior have been changed. Builders completely demolished the roof, but kept the traditional walls of the fisherman's village.
The old front door has been replaced with a new door made of white perforated metal. From the street, it looks like a small hidden wicket door. White is also the dominant color in the interior of the former fishing hut. Add touches of red and black to the kitchen design. Interesting elements of the decor, the chandelier above the table, the chairs.
What looks like a small place, it has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. And is designed to accommodate 4 or 5 people at a time. The living room is beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture. It has a patio access through large glass doors.
The limited space made it difficult to translate the architect's concept into reality. That's why it was the designer's job to create a sense of spaciousness and space in the Casa Joía. Minimum of items in the rooms. Look at the books that seem to be suspended in the air. This effect is created by the simple transparent shelves.

And the following phrase can guide all vacationers: "I never think about the future, it's coming soon enough. Enjoy the allure of nature today.
