The Stone house, Stone building in Fafe Mountains, Portugal
The Stone House stands between four massive granite boulders that form its foundation, walls, and ceiling in northern Portugal.
Built in 1974 by engineer Guimarães, the structure began as a family retreat before transforming into a small regional museum.
The building reflects Portuguese mountain architecture by integrating natural elements into residential construction methods.
The interior contains a kitchen, living room with an 800-pound eucalyptus wood sofa, and bedrooms accessible through wooden stairs.
Despite its location near modern wind turbines, the house maintains its original design without electrical connections.
