Casa no Tempo
Casa no Tempo is a former farmhouse located
in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, surrounded by
one thousand acres of cork trees, pastures,
and wild fields. Hoteliers João and Andreia
Rodrigues worked with architect Manuel Aires
Mateus to transform the property, which has
been in their family for generations, into a
four-bedroom holiday home.
The renovation created a feeling of
timelessness, preserving the memories of the
place while thoughtfully modernising. Deepening
the connection with the outdoor spaces,
oversized windows invite the landscape into
the home, while the purity of the white walls
increases the impact of both the view and the
complementary materials including flooring made
from local clay blocks. Rooted in the beauty
and industry of the locality, Casa No Tempo has
an understated interior reflecting an honest,
emotionally appealing approach.
