Casa Joía was designed by Studio Arte Architecture & Design and Lusco Fusco Concepts, and is located in Silves, Portugal. Casa Joía is a jewel on the coastline of Carvoeiro- Algarve-Portugal, Outside it was completely renovated and kept in traditional layout, Inside nothing reminds you of the old fisherman’s house it used to be.
The Dutch owners sensed the great opportunity of this venue and gave Studio Arte (Arnold Aarssen and Meta Roeymans) and Lusco Fusco Concepts (Janneke Haane) the chance to create a fabulous property. The limited space of the old Portuguese house was a challenge for both the architects and interior designer.

From the outside the house was stripped and left in traditional form. The frontdoor is a typical example of the designers style; the old door design performed in a modern way with white perforated metal. The main colour in the house used is pure white. The surroundings with the blue ocean, blue sky, yellow coastline and colourful townhouses invite the guest to go outside to one of the beautiful terraces. Bathing in light and space you will feel more than comfortable in this modern retreat. The spacious living room has beautifully been decorated with a minimal of comfortable furniture. All is kept clean and basic. The focus lies on what happens outdoors, inside is like a cocoon of white& grey tones and atmospheric lighting.Large patio doors open up towards the first terrace. Here the guests can enjoy wining- dining and be amazed by the view on the beach and ocean.
