Palissade House

Portugal is Europe’s latest hot spot, and the beach destination to visit is Comporta in the Troia Peninsula, a cluster of coastal Portuguese villages about an hour’s drive from Lisbon. With a chic vibe, unspoiled beaches and destination restaurants, no wonder this has become the place to go for international fashion designers, artists and royals. This beautiful region is known for the magnificent white sandy beaches, the wine, fresh fish and the beautiful rice paddies. The Palissade House (or Casa de Troia) is a 300 sqm project by Bica Architects, they have created a romantic hideaway that is ideal to relax, recharge batteries and simply enjoy nature.
