Perched atop Grândola Mountain, the architect designed a residence centered around a courtyard. This home features a protected, enclosed courtyard that opens to the sky, complemented by an open window that faces the water.
The site has been thoughtfully renovated to separate the residence from nearby roads, ensuring privacy and offering unobstructed views.
The building’s exterior reflects the interior living spaces and their transitional areas. A prominent high-volume space serves as a defining residential element, shaping both function and atmosphere.
