INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
The Frame House in the Algarve, designed by Pedro Domingos Arquitectos, polarises opinion like few other buildings. It is about as brutalist as a residential building can get. And so the power of the project lies not only in its unadulterated style, but also in sparking discourse about architecture.
The old house on the church square has stood for centuries. Its oldest parts date back to 1661—a date engraved into the intricately carved beams of the parlour. Today, this historic building is home to Refugium Lunz, a guesthouse revived by the creative minds behind FORMDEPOT—partners known for breathing new life into old architecture. The house looks back with respect and forward with care.
