MIRAMAR SUMMER HOUSE
From holiday home to permanent residence. This house is the result of a remodeling project of a house built between 1955 and 1959 and unchanged over the years until it was purchased by the new owner.
It has original and distinct details when compared to Portuguese architecture, due to the Dutch nationality of the first owner. In this project, the preservation of the existing architecture was respected while the interiors were fully renovated.
Elements representative of the 50’s style are present throughout the house, spreading the midcentury magic.
However, as part of Ding Dong’s signature, the decoration is guided by the unexpected mix of different elements.
Located in Miramar, near the beach and a golf course, it looks like a holiday home but it’s a permanent dwelling. Functionality and comfort are therefore the key aspects of this rehabilitation.
As such, the big challenge was to adapt a typical holiday home to a residence for daily living. The studio modernized the space to meet contemporary standards of comfort and expectations, without compromising its original features.
“I always try to put a little fun into the decor by adding contradictory pieces that break schemes”
