Visits to the site sparked the desire to build a house that would blend into the landscape. We found large rocks on the land, which is protected by dense vegetation, that protruded from the steep slope of the southern portion. There's also a lake nearby, accessible via a short trail through the woods.
The strategy for organizing the house took into account the family's dynamics: the house was built for a friendly couple in their late 80s, with five children, who in turn have families of partners and grandchildren.

The CAS design team balanced out the schematics by seamlessly combining the indigenous aspects of the Emirates culture with sophisticated elements of green design to make this project a success. To ameliorate the rough climatic conditions, solar panels became an inherent part of the design. A turquoise color scheme embraced the coastal nature of the location, and a parametric wooden structure artfully embraces the organic side of the design. This project turned out o... More

THE PAVILION
What matters is that it's a space where reading can take place.
The Pavillion has been designed as a modern-day folly, is constructed of timber and glass and is located on the grounds of an existing detached villa in the Algarve.
The concept was to create a small private retreat close to the existing house with views across open countryside towards the sea beyond.
The new structure is sited in a wonderfully mature setting but also in a part of the garden that was rarely used.
Subtle changes are projected onto the timber slatted façade throughout the day created by the movement of the sun and the shadows from the foliage of the surrounding trees.
A dramatic change occurs in its appearance when lit at night. &nbs... More
