Porches, Lagoa, Faro

Reference: MGPD-T14508. Located in Lagoa. This sprawling 43, 806 square meter plot, perched in a commanding position, presents a magnificent ocean view. Nestled within this expanse lies the ruins of an ancient agricultural estate, strategically situated and the subject of an architecturally approved project by the local municipality. Crafted by a visionary architect hailing from Barcelona, this design masterfully harnesses the unique qualities of the land on which it will be built. Indeed, its vast south-facing lot, providing unobstructed ocean vistas, sets the stage for this resolutely contemporary construction, whose initial sketches exude striking character. The house seamlessly melds with the existing topography, becoming one with nature. Spanning 255 square meters, it is predominantly single-level, artfully playing with light and transparency. The layout comprises four distinct volumes and an inner courtyard. This courtyard, which bathes the central space in light, enhances the perspectives by offering views from every angle. The roof, featuring traditional massing, boasts a two-tier design, while the use of traditional materials imbues the house with a contemporary interpretation of the classic Portuguese countryside residence.
