This interesting architectural project was the work of Sami Arquitectos on the island of Pico in the Azores, and took a ruin as its starting point. Inside the original walls, the minimal, light and modern holiday home was developed, sometimes following the lines of the original walls and other times creating a new outline. The development respects the original ruins but also makes the most of them, allowing them to be part of a structure once more, and offers inhabitants something both old and new. The many openings allow fantastic views and plenty of light, and the simple interior would make for a relaxing vacation.
