Estoril, Cascais

Estoril House

Located in Estoril, within the municipality of Cascais, Casa Estoril explores a contemporary approach to residential architecture, seeking to reconcile the memory and identity of the existing building with a renewed spatial organisation and an updated architectural language.

The intervention is based on a composition of simple volumes, characterised by the contrast between the more solid expression of the lower level and the upper volumes, defined by pitched roofs and a distinctive material expression. The combination of different materials and textures, including green-toned ceramic elements and white surfaces, gives the project a distinctive character and architectural coherence.

The spatial organisation seeks to establish a fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor areas, opening the main living spaces towards the garden and swimming pool. Generous openings and glazed surfaces visually extend the interior spaces outwards, reinforcing the continuity between architecture and landscape.

The landscape design plays an essential role in the overall concept, organising the outdoor living and leisure areas around the garden and swimming pool. Vegetation and natural elements contribute to a sense of privacy and tranquillity, enhancing the relationship between the house and its outdoor spaces.

The project ultimately seeks to create a contemporary home that combines architectural identity, comfort and spatial quality, while enhancing its relationship with the surrounding urban context and outdoor living.
