Located in the serene landscape of Lagoa de Albufeira, this V4, two-storey detached home, designed by Cria+, harmonises effortlessly with the natural topography, fostering a seamless connection with its surroundings. Its refined volumetry and interplay of planes give it a balanced presence, strengthening the dialogue between architecture and landscape.

The reinforced concrete structure, combined with external thermal insulation, ensures exceptional energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Aluminium frames with thermal break and double glazing further enhance both thermal and acoustic performance.

Inside, natural wood and stone finishes add depth and authenticity, while the open-plan layout enhances spatial fluidity, promoting cross ventilation and minimising enclosed circulation areas. Expansive glazed openings invite abundant natural light, reinforcing the continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Outside, the swimming pool forms a perfect link between the architecture and the surrounding landscape. A wooden deck provides a smooth transition, elegantly integrating the water and natural space. Native vegetation and natural materials further enrich this organic connection between the home and its environment.

More than just a residence, this home embodies a contemporary vision where functionality, comfort, and sustainability converge in perfect harmony with nature.
