Located in Grândola, Portugal, the Casa Monte na Comporta is a perfect retreat house for everyone who wants to refresh their mind from fatigue of the daily life. The house which has a bunker-like feel offers the distinct undulating shape that echoes the gently sloping sand dunes, presenting its its hard and angular surface planes which contrast beautifully with the rounded shapes of the surrounding trees.

The two crescent-shaped Barchan dunes that the architects created hide the house under a road. Eventually, it will look like the sand, the house and the wind have coexisted here forever. Already the house shows a delicious hint of ancient cave and that aspect is going to get better and better after years of wind and weather action.
