About Mindelo Detached House

The inspiration came from the client's needs and preferences, from the location just by the beach, and from the kind of favorite lifestyle. From an old 80's construction, a new house was born. Fully reconstructed, updated, and modernized, both outside and inside suffered full renovation in a modern style though respected and inspired by the house's age and character. The renovation transformed a 40-year-old house into a modern though classical beach house with all the comforts of modern life.

About Mario Azevedo

Assumed citizen of the world, passionate about traveling and getting to know other peoples and cultures – an inspiration for her work. For 3 generations, her Portuguese family has lived around the world, from East to West. That's why she was born in São Paulo, Brazil, where she was influenced by multiculturalism, color, good music and the joy of living intensely. Design has been in the family and at home since birth and, as such, she naturally learned to search for the balance of colors, textures and volumes, developed a taste for drawing and grew up wanting to design houses.
