Influenced by local and Arabic architecture, the team created a single building with small openings connecting to the exterior, covered with a recyclable cork finish to ensure thermal insulation. The building is arranged around a large courtyard, a layout designed to take advantage of crosswinds and air circulation, thereby minimizing energy consumption. To ensure that the view of the Alentejo village landscape is not obstructed, the outdoor swimming pool and bar are located on the roof. All 56 rooms are suites. The rooms are dispersed among olive trees, and these paths are interpreted as a series of abstract volumes and surfaces, painted white.
