The design world is turning its attention to the Portuguese countryside, thanks to numerous projects full of interesting ideas that bear the signature of the most innovative studios. Among them is the proposal by Guanilho Design studio, a house renovation that captures the essence of peace and tranquillity. The hallmark of this elegant transformation is the careful selection of Cosentino materials, specifically Dekton and Silestone in a range of colours, and the focus on neutral and relaxed tones, in line with the current global trends.
The homeowners – a couple with children who use the house for family holidays – were not only looking for quality and durability in the materials, but also for an ambience that exuded visual comfort. Their request was met with a proposal that balanced functionality and aesthetics, demonstrating how the right choice of materials and colours can transform a space into a cosy and elegant haven.
Soft tones and finishes for a simple and clean atmosphere
The project posed a number of challenges, including deadlines for the fabricators to complete the job on time, and tested the studio’s ability to adapt and overcome obstacles to ensure the homeowners’ vision was realised without compromise. The design, in keeping with the traditional character of a country house, uses soft tones and finishes that go beyond the conventional, always seeking a simple, clean look that meets the customer’s requirements.
Cosentino, renowned for its durability and variety of colours and finishes, was the perfect choice for this project. The materials chosen, such as Dekton Sabbia and Dekton Nacre and Silestone in colours such as Et Calacatta Gold, Miami White, Ethereal Glow, Coral Clay and Blanco Norte, have been used in a wide range of applications, from shower trays to kitchen worktops, from outdoor fireplace surrounds to TV niches and barbecues. This diverse range of applications demonstrates what is undeniably true: the versatility of Dekton and Silestone and how their consistent use can seamlessly harmonise the interior and exterior design of any home.
