Architect Stefano Riva breathes new life into the ancient ruins of Resende, Portugal, with Casa Jeronimo. This holiday retreat harmoniously blends historic architecture with modern design, featuring a striking pink concrete volume that contrasts with a weathered granite wall, one of the original building's few remaining elements. Organized across two levels, it includes spacious living areas and bedrooms, with planters creating interstitial green spaces. The carefully crafted structure respects its vineyard surroundings while offering a contemporary retreat, emphasizing Riva's commitment to honoring the site’s history and natural context.
Italian architect Stefano Riva organizes Casa Jeronimo across two levels. The ground floor houses the kitchen and living areas, while moving up, the first floor accommodates three bedrooms and a library.
Rather than merely restoring the ruin, Riva introduces a contrasting concrete volume, an abstract interpretation of the historical footprint marked by the original farm building.
