CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & FULL SERVICE PROCUREMENT

c/o cabanas

Comporta in Portugal is a magical and inimitable place. Think wild nature, pinetrees, wide plains, white beaches warm-hearted and buzzing local community. No wonder we fell in love with the place when we first visited it with our client in 2018.

Since then we have been co-developing three holiday cabanas residing in Brejos, a small town in the region of Comporta, an hour South of Lisbon. The holiday homes are accompanied by wild pine trees, rice field views, the Atlantic sea scent in the air and an unspoilt natural park of 7.600 square meters.

Up to four unwinders and explorers can stay in these ecological role model houses. They are a symbiosis of an innovative energy concept, well-chosen natural building materials (heads up to Architect Therezia Sloet tot Everlo), sustainable interior and décor with resource gentleness, plastic minimization and good materials at its core.

The name "c/o cabanas" has been with great thought: co are the initials of the owner. It also stands for "taking care of" - taking care of you, nature, traditions...

The TUTAKA team developed a supplier code of conduct and took over the complete procurement of sustainable products. In addition, a communication concept including the brand name and creation of the brand identity was developed. We were also responsible for the web design and programming.
