MONOLITH.
CASCAIS / MADEIRA / MARBELLA
Nordic Minimalism + Japanese Architecture.
The Monolith house redefines the boundaries of design, living, and assimilation of natural habitat.
Designed for a family who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the residence adopts a sculptural character and an impressive but functional design flow.
The result is a geometric house that blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings while creating a purposeful and sustainable spatial experience of modernity.
The residence re-imagines our way of living in a dwelling.
The architecture and space planning bring the elements from the outside in, creating a natural calm and meditative mood.
A ‘living’ work of art.
This is our singular piece of work of elegant and of functional architectural form that rethinks design ideology, with dramatic views of the oceans and wild valleys of the Madeira archipelago in Portugal, and epic coastal views of Marbella in Spain set a amidst breathtaking coastal line.
