The atelier is located in a striking 1,500-square-meter sawmill on Herdade da Barrosinha, an agricultural estate in Alcácer do Sal in the south of Lisbon populated by fishermen, boat builders and wine makers. The estate of Barrosinha was founded in 1947 and comprises two old rice husking and packaging factories, a former primary school, the sawmill, a hotel and guesthouses, a winery and a tavern built on the right bank of the Sado river.
