Located in Herdade da Aroeira, this project is characterized by the wide opening of the spaces in the social areas to the outside, guaranteeing open views of the pool area, garden and the golf course.

The main elevation of the house is organized into two distinct bodies that appear to be separated into two independent volumes, accentuated by the offset of the upper body and their different materialities, with the one located on the ground floor covered in Silverwave natural stone and the upper one applied the ETICS hood system.

One of the most prominent rooms in this project can be considered the Sanitary Installation of the Master suite, which is equipped with a large bathtub carved in an oval shape, above which there is a skylight with the same shape. This repetition of shapes gives the gradual rise of the focus of vision, contradicting the natural path of light that enters the space.
