In Sintra, this two-storey villa integrates into a residential terrace, asserting itself through a serene sand-toned façade and slatted-wood panels framing the upper-floor balconies. The decorative niche on the courtyard wall and the concrete-block path over grass give identity to the outdoor area, extended by a wooden deck.
Inside, the home is organised around a central light-wood staircase with recessed step lighting, creating a scenic axis between floors. Living, dining and kitchen unfold in open plan on the ground floor, with sliding glazing opening fully onto the garden, and continuous light-wood flooring uniting all social spaces.
