This house is a great example of Portugal’s rustic countryside heritage. This stunning house is made up entirely out of three materials; ceramic, wood and stone. This home (designed by architect Manuel Ribeiro) is situated in a valley and deliberately aligned with the sun ensuring that the home benefits in its lighting.

I find this house so amazing and charming and I am in awe of the fabulous and talented work of Manuel Ribeiro who can create something so stunning just out of three elements (wood, ceramic and stone).
