POA
6 bedroom villa on the Cascais coastline, in Caxias, with sea and Tagus river views. Designed by the renowned architect Souto de Moura, the project is developed in two cubic concrete monoblocks, parallel, anchored to the hillside, with ample bedrooms en suite, living rooms and terraces that offer a view the valley of Caxias and the Tagus river, with a connection to the sea. The villa is composed by 3 floors, 2 of which are above the entrance floor and a 3rd floor that is semi-subterranean, taking advantage of the natural slope of the land. • First Floor – four bedrooms en suite, with unobstructed sea views and an ample terrace; • Ground Floor – main entrance, living room, dining room with sea view and direct access to an ample terrace, kitchen, social bathroom and a garage for 3 cars; • -1 Floor – living room, social bathroom, maid´s bedroom en suite, technical area, storage area, laundry area and a terrace open to the outdoor patio with swimming pool. Window frames in natural anodized aluminum with double glazed windows, entrance door in steel and wooden slats and the garage gate in vertical slats. The transitions from the inside to the terraces are at 0/0 level, without any ledges, providing a sense of spaciousness and blurring the boundaries between the inside and outside. On the -1 level, the patio where the swimming pool is located expands to a covered terrace and to an indoor lounge area, also at 0/0 level. In this way, part of the house works as a covered outdoor space to support the swimming pool. These flat exterior areas do not occupy the whole lot, allowing the natural slope and the land´s vegetation to be maintained, not only for technical and constructive reasons, but also for aesthetic and landscape integration, with the vegetation softening the relationship with the surrounding buildings. The villa is located in one of the most prestigious areas of Oeiras, in a consolidated, serene and sheltered area, but simultaneously really close to all sorts of services and accesses. Eduardo Elísio Machado Souto de Moura was born in Oporto on 25th July 1952. He studied architecture at the School of Fine Arts in Oporto and at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Oporto. During the course of his student´s career, he collaborated in Álvaro Siza Vieira’s studio between 1974 and 1979. In 2011, Souto de Moura became the second Portuguese architect, after Siza Vieira (1992), to win the Pritzeker Architecture Prize, the most prestigious award in this area, awarded since 1979 by the American Hyatt Foundation to the greatest names in the world´s architecture, such as Óscar Niemeyer (1988), Frank Gehry (1898), Norman Foster (1999) and Rem Koolhaas (2000). Characterised by its mild climate, Oeiras is one of the most developed municipalities in the country, being in a privileged location just a few minutes from Lisbon and Cascais and with superb views over the river and sea. The restored buildings full of charm cohabit in perfect balance with the new constructions. The seafront promenade accesses the fantastic beaches along the line.
