House in Cascais in Portugal by OPENBOOK Architecture

Architecture Design of House in Cascais

Description About The Project

House in Cascais designed by OPENBOOK Architecture, nestled atop a picturesque hill in Cascais. This private house maximizes its stunning location, seamlessly integrating with the natural landscape that surrounds it. The architectural vision centers around harmonizing the structure with its environment, creating a captivating interplay between sleek rectangular forms and the verdant greenery that stretches into the horizon.

Designed to adapt to the terrain’s significant elevation changes, the house boasts an innovative spatial layout that optimizes functionality without compromising on aesthetics. Upon entering, a grand atrium spanning two floors serves as the heart of the home, connecting its various parts and welcoming occupants with an inviting ambiance.

Positioned to capture the mesmerizing vistas to the west, the residence fosters a dynamic relationship with its outdoor spaces, including a lush garden and inviting pool. This seamless transition between indoors and outdoors not only enhances the living experience. But also ensures a sense of harmony and balance throughout the property.

Utilizing a palette of concrete, timber, and travertine, the materials chosen for the house effortlessly blend with the natural surroundings, their textures and colors echoing the splendor of the landscape. The result is a residence that not only provides a sanctuary for its inhabitants but also celebrates the beauty of its hilltop setting in every aspect of its design.

Text by the Architects: This Private House in Cascais makes the most of its hilltop location. The architectural concept evolves around fitting the structure in its natural surroundings.
