Terra Lodge is an author’s project that comes from the dream of sharing the love for nature, for the sea, for the sun, for the little good things in life. It is located in Santo Isidoro, a typical Portuguese rural village, 800 meters from Ribeira D’Ilhas Beach, a unique surfing nature reserve in Europe, only 5 kilometers from Ericeira.
In a green valley sheltered from the wind, blessed by the sun 300 days a year, where the church bell can be heard every hour and birds sing, in a real village with all its grace, simplicity and peace, just 30 minutes of Lisbon, fresh and vibrant city, full of light, color and history.
In this project, thought and created by me, we used ancient and local construction techniques, resorting almost exclusively to noble materials such as stone, wood and iron, used very close to their primary form. Almost everything that exists here has been rebuilt, reconverted or reused, with industrial inspiration, seeking a contemporary rural reconstruction, comfortable and welcoming.
This space was designed for families, for friends, so they can spend a happy day in a place with beach and field, where they can walk, listen to the birds, surf, plant their veggie garden, play with their children or dog, or simply contemplate the sunset in all tranquility. No rush, just time to experience life fully.
