Why a house from SHB?
A unique house for sale in São Bernardino, built with Swiss standards and a Portuguese heart.
Imagine a home where the winter dampness never enters and the temperature never drops below 20°C. We are bringing SHB high-performance engineering to the cliffs of São Bernardino near Peniche, Portugal.
About the concept
Many homes are designed primarily for the summer, but we build for the 365 days of the year. This project is engineered with a Swiss approach - a continuous, high-density insulation layer that acts as a thermal shield against the Atlantic wind and humidity.By stopping water infiltration at the source and using vapor-permeable materials, we ensure your home breathes naturally while staying perfectly dry. You are investing in a high-performance build where the temperature stays a steady 20°C and your air stays fresh—all solved naturally, so using 95% less heating energy than a traditional house.
Choose your space
This project offers a unique modular design. Depending on your needs and the stage of construction, you can secure the configuration that fits your lifestyle.The sooner you get involved, the better: early collaboration allows us to fully adapt the layout and structural engineering to your unique vision.The full villa: Own the entire structure and land for maximum privacy and space.The semi-detached wing: Purchase one-half of the house (vertical split) with your own private entrance, garden and parking spot.The "finish yourself" option: We provide the high-performance structural shell and weather-proof envelope. You take the lead on the interior finishes—bathrooms, kitchen, flooring—and the outdoor landscaping to suit your personal style and budget.
Each option includes full access to SHB’s moisture-control building house technology and the 20-degree thermal insulation standard.
We believe in Swiss transparency. We are currently in the pre-construction / land stage.

Why São Bernadino?
It’s a location of contrasts. You have the "double-beach" advantage: the sheltered, family-friendly bay of Praia de São Bernardino on one side, and the rugged, wild Praia dos Frades on the other.The microclimate here is also a major draw. While the south of Portugal can get scorching, the Atlantic breeze here keeps summers at a comfortable 26°C, while winters stay mild, rarely dipping below 12°C during day time. Average sunshine is 4-6 hours daily even during the winter months. It’s an outdoor lifestyle that stays comfortable all year round.
Did you know?
São Bernardino is part of the Aspiring UNESCO West Coast Geopark. The cliffs here aren't just beautiful—they are a prehistoric timeline, offering a front-row seat to millions of years of Earth's history.
