AD100 Designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent Restore Alentejo Farm in Portugal

AD100 designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent have completed the restoration of a historic farm in Portugal's Alentejo region, transforming it into a family homestead with orchards and a menagerie of animals. The property, which serves as a deeply personal refuge for the couple and their children, reflects their design ethos of blending rustic charm with modern comfort. The project involved extensive renovation of existing structures and integration of sustainable practices. The farm is located in the rural Alentejo region, known for its rolling hills and agricultural heritage. Berkus and Brent, who are also television personalities and authors, have previously undertaken residential projects in the United States. This marks their first major international restoration. The couple's approach emphasizes preservation of original architectural features while introducing contemporary amenities. The homestead includes multiple buildings, outdoor spaces, and agricultural areas. The project was featured in Architectural Digest, highlighting the designers' commitment to creating a functional yet idyllic living environment.
