Lake Cabin
Azores, Portugal
This sanctuary of nature and well-being, entirely clad in cryptomeria wood—a Japanese cedar abundant on São Miguel Island and particularly in Sete Cidades—embraces the use of natural materials and local resources. The property features two en-suite bedrooms offering direct and breathtaking views of the lagoon, as well as an open-plan kitchen that flows into the dining and living area. Equipped with an advanced air conditioning system and a salamander stove, the home’s panoramic windows frame the garden and surrounding landscape, allowing guests to savor the beauty of all four seasons.
The minimalist decor, designed in neutral tones, creates a striking contrast with the vivid green of the lagoon, the surrounding mountains, and the endless blue of the sky. Each design element has been thoughtfully chosen to immerse visitors in a unique atmosphere of peace and serenity, fostering an unparalleled connection with the natural environment that surrounds this idyllic retreat.
