Stone and cork: discreet efficiency, natural elegance.
Discover a new generation of sustainable homes in Portuguese natural stone. Thermal comfort, seismic resilience and energy efficiency combined in a solid value-led structure.
Casa de Pedra: the solution that endures
Stone and cork for comfort, efficiency and long-lasting elegance.
The Casa de Pedra stands apart through the singular combination of two noble materials from the Portuguese landscape: stone and cork.
External walls, built entirely in natural stone, confer a solid, permanent and distinctive presence, rooted in centuries of building tradition and a timeless aesthetic. These are structures that not only withstand time — they celebrate it.
Cork, used as natural insulation, delivers exceptional acoustic and thermal performance, reinforcing indoor comfort and reducing the need for artificial climate control. Fully biodegradable and drawn from renewable sources, it is one of the most emblematic resources of Portugal’s forests.
Together, these materials create a quiet, efficient and genuinely sustainable habitat — distinctly Portuguese, highly durable, with a natural elegance that never shouts.
