Block By Block

Architecture goes beyond being just a physical structure; it serves as a vessel for crafting both new memories and rekindling the old. When we inhabit a space thoughtfully designed with care, it has the power to evoke strong emotions, often triggering nostalgia for the past while also creating fresh experiences.

Casa Arco Iris

Casa Arco Iris is a project which remodels the 1990s-built detached villa located adjacent to a golf course in the Algarve. The concept specified the use of white marble, typical of Portuguese architecture during the past century.  The use of the same material on all of the internal and external surface areas creates a collective feeling of fluidity and elegance which add to the sense of light and space.  The architectural dark timber staircase provides a sculptured link between levels and is lit from above by a large skylight.  Ultramarino, the in-house interior design element of the studio designed the ‘white concept’ for the whole interior, including the kitchen and bathroom elements.  The gardens wer...
