The house is located inside Belas Clube de Campo, a private community on the outskirts of Lisbon, Portugal. The configuration of the plot, proportion, dimensions, and topography allowed maximizing the exterior space around the interior common areas.

The project extends throughout three floors; the first floor holds the garage, maid room, laundry room, and technical area; the second floor contains the office, living room, kitchen, and bedrooms; the last floor is entirely occupied with the master bedroom.

The tension between the house and garden is resolved through the creation of “balconies” that are intentionally higher than needed. The same tension was created between the house and the sky through thick solar shades. Autochthonous vegetation occupies the extensive gardened areas.

All the interior space was designed and constructed with high quality and luxury finishings in mind, but always with a concern that this could not be ostentatious—it had to be simple and effective.
