Happy Monday! Here is a new collection of personal stories touching architecture and design from various global destinations. For today's leading renditions, we are going to East Asia, to Europe, and then back to Southeast Asia where historic and grand residential, plus hospitality (food & beverage) architecture are celebrated. Enjoy our amazing content!

The residence's entryway, which resembles that of a temple, is visible in the picture above. You can envision the level of riches the family had or has as not many homes were constructed in this manner. The mansion is believed to have cost more than 1 billion yen (about $7.15 million USD). The large, expertly constructed, and elaborate entrance to the mansion ( the picture below) is the first thing you see as you walk through the gate.
And that seems to be the place that I want to share with all of you this time, the Pena Palace in Sintra, a town very close to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. And this city turns out that thanks to said palace it has become the most visited place in the country, incredible (that's what they told me when I asked to climb to the top). But it is a magical place, different, curious, full of charm and an unique design.
Therefore, we will feel very spacious when passing through this place. I think, maybe there is an aesthetic reason for choosing limited furniture such as tables and benches in the middle and back. One interesting point in the middle of the building, heading to the second floor, we will see a very unique design concept using a wooden background pattern. In addition, added the word "stay slim" at the top.
