Casas na Areia
Casas na Areia started off as Silent Living family's holiday retreat but quickly evolved into a welcoming haven for friends and guests. Now a hallmark of the brand, the design uniquely blends the natural surroundings with contemporary architecture, all while honoring the simplicity of the original fishing hut.

Casas na Areia started off as Silent Living family's holiday retreat but quickly evolved into a welcoming haven for friends and guests. Now a hallmark of the brand, the design uniquely blends the natural surroundings with contemporary architecture, all while honoring the simplicity of the original fishing hut.
Silent Living consistently ponders how to preserve a structure's cultural heritage while making its story relevant today, and they have achieved this with Casas na Areia. Like with all their homes, they've realized the importance of people in shaping memory, history, and place. Sharing life's moments with others is at the heart of community and humanity. Silent Living good friend and architect, Manuel Aires Mateus, undertook the renovation.
