The San Lorenzo North House in Portugal
These days, some houses prefer to look minimal in design while focusing more on function. These are what we call modern homes. Today, we will be featuring another modern home that has white exterior and a simple yet elegant design. It has an in ground outdoor pool that gives the home a refreshing look. It is also surrounded with greens making it a cozy home with nature around it. This house is called the San Lorenzo North House located in Quinta do Lago, Portugal.
It is named as such because it is overlooking a fairway of the San Lorenzo golf course in Quinta do Lago. The house has a series of cubic volumes that step gradually up the slope of the lot from its entrance to the double height of the living room that faces the fairway. The entrance is facing north closing its private areas while an open area faces the south. You can also take a glimpse of a double height portico on the garden side.
