Description
A villa with swimming pool designed by Alvaro Siza on the Silver Coast
This contemporary villa is located in the Bom Sucesso resort on the shores of the Obidos lagoon, one of the most important showcases of contemporary architecture in the world.
Set in 1,212 sqm of private grounds, it offers 220 sqm of living space on one level.
It comprises an entrance hall, a beautiful living area comprising a lounge with fireplace and a dining room opening onto a 46 sqm sun terrace with swimming pool and garden, a separate fitted kitchen, four bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a utility room.
The villa has a geometric silhouette and a compact massing with offsets that suggest the functionalist spatial distribution of the interior. The structure is topped with a green roof, providing high-performance, low-cost insulation and integrating well into the landscape. Inside, the orientation of the different spaces in relation to the sun and views creates a play of transparency and perspectives on the garden.
The villa boasts a delightful rectangular swimming pool clad entirely in local stone.
Bom Sucesso is a 20-minute drive from the centre of the small medieval town of Obidos, and around 1 hour from Lisbon.
The house enjoys a privileged setting within the gated and secure complex. Guests can take advantage of the holiday village’s leisure facilities, including a golf course, football pitch and tennis courts.
Bom Sucesso, a design resort unique in Europe
Built on the site of a former eucalyptus monoculture, the Bom Sucesso project deconstructs the model of the standardised, regionalist holiday village, by involving 23 nationally and internationally renowned architects in its design. Pritzker Prize winners Alvaro Siza Vieira and Edouardo Souto Moura, representatives of the Portuguese architectural avant-garde such as Manuel Aires Mateus, and prestigious international names such as David Chipperfield and Hans Kollhoff were invited to design the resort’s villas, hotels and facilities.
The architects have adhered to a set of rules to ensure the architectural harmony of the development, such as the use of traditional façade materials and green roofs, and the design of single-storey volumes. The site has a low building density, to ensure the privacy and tranquillity of the residents, with plenty of green space and numerous vantage points overlooking the magnificent panorama of the Côte d’Argent.
