Cardume Summer Home

Set just above the water near the Castelo de Bode dam, Cardume Home was designed from the ground up to reflect the calm rhythm of its riverside surroundings. Immersed in nature, the house invites a slower pace of living: open, warm, and deeply connected to place.
With soft textures, natural materials, and custom-built pieces in solid acacia wood, the space feels intentionally quiet. Polished concrete grounds the architecture, while linen, used throughout the curtains and sofa, brings lightness and warmth.
Cardume Home is a retreat shaped for gathering, resting, and taking in the landscape at its own pace.
