This two-story single-family house is located near Aguçadoura Beach, north of the city of Póvoa de Varzim, on Portugal’s Atlantic coast. The long, sandy plot sits below street level and formerly accommodated a small greenhouse for vegetable cultivation. Aguçadoura is well known for its intensive horticultural production.
On the lower floor, the main atrium provides access to the garage, with space for two parking spaces, a mechanical room, and a laundry area concealed by a patio. A west-facing corridor connects the office, kitchen, and main living room, all of which open onto the exterior garden, while the bathroom opens onto a small private patio framed by exposed concrete walls.
Within the main atrium, the stairs connect the lower and upper levels. On the upper floor, facing the main façade, are two small suites, each with a dressing room and a bathroom naturally illuminated by skylights. On the opposite side, the master suite includes a generous dressing room and a bathroom also concealed by a private patio.
Regarding materials, most interior spaces are finished with oak wood flooring, while the bathrooms are clad in white marble slabs. On the exterior, the retaining walls and courtyards are finished in exposed concrete with timber formwork, painted in a neutral dry-sand tone that harmonizes with the ETICS cladding on the façades.
