A masterfully designed hotel project in Portugal created by studio FAT | Future Architecture Thinking houses the elegant Sobreiras Alentejo Country Hotel on a 25 ha property.
The design is by architect Miguel Correia, along with its multidisciplinary team from FAT – Future Architecture Thinking, with about 30 members between architects, planners, landscape architects and designers. The concern for the preservation and improvement of physical and morphological characteristics of the site, dictated the basic principles of intervention: a simple and elegant design inspired by the surrounding nature with the richness of landscapes and flavors of Alentejo. The purpose was to value and favor the rural environment surrounding the hotel, taking it as theme, seeking to provide a space to enjoy the countryside, full of comfort and quiet, in a simple and contemporary atmosphere. – from Future Architecture Thinking
