Casa Luum

Sant Barbara de Nexe, Faro, Algarve, Portugal
Architect Pedro Domingos' Pristine Whites & Clean Lines in Faro's Nature Reserve

Standing out in contrast to the earthy rural environment, this striking holiday home in Portugal is defined by beautiful geometric block forms, spare clean lines and pristine whites. Set within an expansive nature reserve in the hills of Faro and surrounded by acres of olive groves and peaceful countryside, the bleached structures form a series of interrelated living areas. Designed by internationally-renowned Portuguese architect Pedro Domingos, this modern installation employs a fresh, selective approach to minimalism and simplicity.

Expansive and bright, with simple understated luxuries and smart, minimalist decor including locally made ceramics, pottery, and blankets by Casa Cubista in Olhao, Casa Luum's living areas are bright, airy spaces punctuated with multiple windows and angles that capture and reflect the natural light. 

The living room features a fireplace designed in 1965 by architects Alfonso Mila and Federico Correa surrounded by lounge areas next to the eat-in kitchen, with both indoor and outdoor dining areas. 

With four large bedrooms and two full baths, the house sleeps six comfortably and is family friendly. Each bedroom features private terrace access. The house has also integrated many eco and sustainable practices such as solar energy and high-grade insulation to heat and cool naturally.

The gardens were designed by Sigmetum, botanical architects based in Lisbon, who have collected and cultivated wild seeds, encouraging and protecting native species found throughout the region. Local herbs and aromatic plants abound, perfect for your cooking, infusions, or aromatic treatments. The lovely sheltered pool features shaded lounge areas and there’s a fantastic rooftop terrace for dining, lounging, and stargazing.

We love the lightness of this gem by architect Pedro Domingos that reflects the day and glows softly in the evening. When the sun is out, it casts beautiful geometric shadows on itself like minimalist paintings. Every line is perfectly juxtaposed, making each nook and corner a visual delight.
