On an agricultural estate in Portugal, Blaanc Studio designed a simple retreat that does its utmost not to interfere with the scenic backdrop. The home was built with rammed earth, which is known for its thermal properties that help maintain a mild temperature all year long.

Wood was used more extensively in the master bedroom. "I think the intention was just to warm it up and make it more cozy," Kean says. A wood-covered "disappearing door" cleverly conceals a closet.
