Villa Anna

The Villa Anna project restores a traditional style Portuguese villa, previously divided into 2 units in the 1980s, into a single-family coastal oasis, combining the modern influences of urban thrift culture and contemporary art with the serenity of secluded nature and traditional Algarvian architecture.

By fusing modern technology with traditional time-tested practices, the retreat encapsulates the luxury of contemporary living while keeping the original structural integrity of the property, with a focus on sustainable restoration and enhancement rather than destructive reconstruction.

Throughout the home, new materials are complemented with traditional building practices. In the bathrooms a special type of plaster suitable for wet areas allows for experimentation with curves and organic shapes. Vintage finds intermingle with new furnishings in a playful collaboration with the collection of original artworks from around the globe that adorn the walls.

This Algarvian home fuses contemporary urban influences with traditional Portuguese architecture and ecological design to create an archetype for the future of countryside residences.
