Cabanas in Comporta, Portugal by Studio3a + MIMA Housing

“I want this place to be my retreat, give me a bed and a bathtub and I’m happy”. This is the brief we had from our client from the project cabanas in Comporta, a small private residential project.

The initial project was just that, a 12 sqm bedroom hut with a bathtub, the “intimate module” as we like to call it. Gradually, as the conversations with the client started to develop, a new hut appeared on the project. The “social module”. Then another hut for safekeeping the clients’ car collection. The “service module”. With this organicity more huts started blossoming and at this point – why not a pool too?

This house is implanted in the middle of a pine wood forest, in Comporta, Portugal. The house was designed as a one level unit composed of two bodies, a social body, open to the outside and a private body, closed onto itself. In the social body, there´s an open space area composed of a living room, a dining room, an open kitchen and a social bathroom. Connecting the social area to the private, there´s a high corridor that commemorates the transition of spaces.
