Casa MF

A family home, a real challenge between purpose and proportion of spaces. The beauty of the house is mirrored by the outdoor swimming pool, which reflects the brightness and elegance of the building. Anyone observing it can’t imagine the battle it faced with the differences in elevation organising the volume of the home itself. Everything was made possible with a pact that was made with Mother Nature, as the dimension of the house adopted an ecological stance with the use of wood, regional stone and sun exposure protection systems. But the star of this project is the space, which has exploited the land’s topographical circumstances. In addition to this, it has created a harmonious relationship between the indoor and outdoor spaces, not only for aesthetic purposes, but mainly for functional purposes. Opting for a contemporary language, the project sought to carefully delineate the social spaces and the private spaces, with both only sharing the sublime views of the landscape. With three floors defining the size, the house reveals the main entrance hall, a large white, modern style, kitchen, a spacious dining and living room, guest WC, circulation areas and also a gym on the ground floor. The first floor consists of the bedrooms, the walk-in wardrobes, bathrooms and the hot tub, as an extra.

An enchanting interplay between light and reflection

The flooring in the property is in stone and some walls are lined with walnut, revealing elegant and luxurious features. Vasco Vieira Arquitectos has created an enchanting interplay between light and reflection, providing a calm and relaxing environment, a true symphony between the sound of nature and the water of the exquisite black pool, which seems more like an extension of the house’s interior. The architecture studio has experience in private homes and large eco-resorts, showcasing a modernist vein that has won it multiple awards in recent years.
