Architect Kengo Kuma designed a floating, transparent structure supported by very thin steel columns. Transparency was a common design goal for the entire project.

Inspired by the surrounding landscape of chestnut trees, rocky hillside, and bubbling stream, Portuguese architecture firm 3r Ernesto Pereira chose to blend into, and take advantage of, the local geography rather than fight against it at this sleek, modern home near the coastal city of Porto. At a cost of €100,000 (approximately $125,000) and measuring about 140 square meters, this stunning, wood-and-glass retreat took about four months to construct.

A complex, angled structure shades and protects the main outdoor living space.

Multiple outdoor living spaces and a wraparound deck emphasize indoor/outdoor living.

The east-facing facade opens to an outdoor deck, which is furnished with lounge chairs by Loll Designs.
