*collaboration with tiago antão arquitecto
located in the sought-after holiday destination of lagos, this project involves designing a three-bedroom residence on a vacant plot nestled between two existing homes.
the client’s vision calls for a minimalist design that seamlessly accommodates both vacation living and long-term residence. the house is spread across three levels, each thoughtfully planned for functionality and comfort. the basement includes a garage, technical spaces, and a small wine cellar. the first floor features an open-plan kitchen and living area, along with a flexible office/guest bedroom. on the upper floor, master suites are each equipped with a kitchenette and private terrace, allowing the home to operate as a b&b year-round, while maintaining privacy and flexibility for the owners. this design strikes a harmonious balance between modern minimalism and practical versatility, catering to both leisure and everyday living.
