The architects of the design were the Portuguese Marco Martínez Marinho, César Marques and José Guedes Cruz, of Guedes Cruz Arquitectos. The project faces the landscape of the Atlantic coast as a great refuge of long concrete walls, interrupted only by large windows that open onto the landscape. A vision that contrasts with the visual lightness in front of the heavy prefabricated concrete walls that make up the house.
The house has been named The Wall House, and is located 25 km from the Portuguese capital, in the "Portuguese Riviera" a typical vip summer resort, since in the nineteenth century King Luis I of Portugal and the aristocracy of the moment would make fashionable the city of Cascais, as a luxury area to spend the summer.
The house has the following program: gourmet kitchen, large living room, 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, in two levels. All linked with the patio, the exterior gardens and taking advantage of the play of reflections that the water provides, and that Ricardo Oliveira photographer has captured in the following images.
