Located on a hill in Leiria, Portugal, the site resided next to the antique Villa de Portela. Our design incorporated the natural slope of the hill, and while enjoying the pool on a raised platform, the residents can have an unobstructed view of the Castle of Leiria. (Castela de Leiria). The pool is also extended to a stone pond below through a cascade, which can also serve as a private swimming pool for its residents.
Our design gives priority to comfort and connection while meeting the expectations for sustainability, notably with a system that collects the rain water for irrigation. Varied paths articulate functional and leisure areas and create a spirit of community. Aimed to support the city of Leiria’s commitment to develop and dynamize its historical center, the entire project is built above the average standard quality.
