Description
Hi I´m Diogo, I start my own project in Apulia.
I live in a fishing village on the seafront with many closed or abandoned houses, I`m currently renovating some of them, making the place charming. The place is fantastic surrounded by nature on the sand in front of the sea. During my free time, I like to biking, hiking, yoga, surfing and spending time in the nature(Forest, dunes and also wild beach´s) and enjoying the beautiful sunsets.
Seeking a minimalist, sustainable lifestyle. -

It's hard to start this text somewhere. It was such a good experience for me in Apulia in those few weeks I stayed. I feel we had the perfect team in place, each with their own characteristics (and preferences for furniture position 🤣), but matching so well together!
