The rural cluster, the object of intervention, is located near to the Chapel of Quintã – a classified building integrated in the Route of the Romanesque – a status that imposed a higher demand of caution and sensitivity in the development of a proposal. The makeup of this cluster is reminiscent of the past, of rurality and the idea of identity, factors and characteristics to be preserved in order to provide new generations with the knowledge and testimonies of a past time. It is from this frame of reference that the architectural proposal, for the reconstruction and expansion of the preexisting buildings, yearns to foster a just relationship with the past, but also simultaneously it is given the liberty to create a dialog between the new and the old.

The “Casa Abacateiro” emerges from the desire of a couple to create a spacious and welcoming environment to host their family, where the boundaries between interior and exterior, house and garden, seamlessly merge, providing a sense of connectivity and spaciousness. With this proposal in mind, the house is divided into two distinct blocks.

The “Corner Villa” design principles are meticulously crafted to create communal spaces for celebrations and gatherings while catering to the owner’s need for private sanctuaries and privacy. One unique feature of the villa is the courtyard at the back of the building, separated from the main facade and parking area. This placement ensures that the courtyard and private areas of the villa remain secluded and at the center of the structure. In addition, the desire for a peaceful space away from the main reception and party hall led to more secluded private spaces and bedrooms on a single floor. These spaces are connected by a deep balcony, allowing for different activities to take place simultaneously, making the villa more energy-efficient during periods of lower occupancy and contributing to reduced energy consumption.
