The inspiration for this one-of-a-kind apartment came from the original Portuguese name of the land, ’Moinho das Canas’, which, freely translated, means Cane Mill.As the name suggests, a lot of cane grows here, and we used this material to decorate this apartment.The use of other natural building materials, such as cork, wood and stone, gives the apartment a truly harmonious feel.

The living area contains a comfy, bespoke sofa, situated near a cosy wood-burner.A tiny oven built into the stove means that, on a cold day, you could even make a fire and cook a cake, should the mood take you...
