On a sunny hillside overlooking the bay Lagos, in Portugal, Casa Libre faces inwards, towards the privacy of its patio, but is also open to the south, where the view becomes lost in the immense sea.
Located on the vast territory of Alentejo, the house in Grândola emerges from an extensive tank leaning against a wall facing south, as if it were a sounding board for the entire landscape.
Surrounded by history, Casa Correia was born from the dream of finding a refuge to enjoy precious rest after long years of work.
The purpose of this project is a single family house. The program is developed in two levels – social spaces on the lower floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor.
Designed by Manuel Aires Mateus, and completed in 2015, this house is located on the edge of a small chain of hills. Set in relative isolation, it sits above the village of Melides and the lack of neighbouring houses allows for unobstructed views of the ocean, which are particularly magnificent at sunset.
This Estoril house was built in 1923 and is owned by the Portuguese architect Ricardo Morena, who faced one of the most difficult tasks for an architect, namely to redesign his own house. He aimed to enhance the sense of freedom and better connect the interior with the exterior.
