About White & Kaki
This mediterranean style home with industrial details in Algarve, Portugal, has uncluttered environments with notes of sophistication.
In this house between the countryside and the beach in the Algarve region of Portugal, references to the Mediterranean Sea and the industrial style are found in rustic materials, works of art and pieces made with the perfume of the ocean and notes of sophistication.
A wabi-sabi accent permeates the interiors signed by the White & Kaki office of Carlos Rocha and Vítor Duarte. The duo was responsible for the total renovation of the property, which is characterized by different openings to the exterior, and took advantage of the integration between the interiors of the residence and its surroundings, where native vegetation sets the tone.
"The client wanted a relaxed home integrated with the landscape," said the decorators, who invested in materials of the region mixed with lamps and other pieces of different styles, brands, consecrated artists and emerging names. "It was necessary to preserve the sensation of freedom and of space, result obtained by taking advantage of the right foot, peeling the interior, and the visibility to the natural scenery."
The entrance is through a wooden door, designed by the studio, which leads the visitor to the generous living room where, in addition to the cement staircase with hand-worked iron railing, the high ceilings and the glass openings framed by iron that give access to the garden.
The bucolic atmosphere extends to the kitchen, where stands the rustic wooden table with feet of iron in contrast to the white of the planned cabinet. On the table hang glass lamps signed by the designers of W & K, one of the many exclusive pieces.
On the ground floor there is space for two bedrooms, a suite and a bathroom. The smaller dormitory has access to a small, Mediterranean-inspired patio, which in turn connects with the kitchen. As well as the living room, it overlooks the garden with pond and balcony.
Climbing up the cement stairs comes to the mezzanine, where are the closet and the owner's room, which includes a bathroom divided into two areas. Highlight for the environment composed by an oval bathtub next to the fireplace.
