The alpendre [porch] is the essence of rural Portuguese homes, serving as a seamless connection between indoor spaces and nature. It was commonly used to dry maize or other cereals or to host family dinners on warm evenings. This covered area acts as a bridge between the home and its surroundings, truly extending our living spaces. The alpendre links the heart of the house to the world outside, creating a timeless threshold between shelter and landscape.
