Let's keep heading towards South-West Europe for this 6th architectural trip, to immerse ourselves in the exoticism of an astonishing portuguese villa.
Located in one of the chic districts of Lisboa,the colors that adorn this small villa-duplex are an obvious nod to the Portuguese flag ...
...green (trees, bushes...)for hope, red (portal, automatic gate..)or conquest or golden (stairs , fountain...) for yellow coat of arms ;
Composed of clumps of boxwood acting as natural barriers, the vegetation presents a mixture of continental and exotic trees.
The 22 meters long storefront incorporates an automatic sliding door access to the garage and a numbered small entrance gate on the left side.
Specific stone used for walls and flooring is similar than the famous Bilbao "Gugghenhein "museum.
The atypical "above ground" swimming pool whose transparency of the thick glass walls allows you to see people swimming inside or outside the villa.
This villa incorporates an incredible car-specific hydraulic elevator system that transforms a single-storey villa ...
The large sliding bay windows guarantee exceptional brightness and a prime panoramic view of the vegetation in all seasons.
The small living room with sofa is delimited by the bedroom : access is ensured by a specific slided "Shoji" translucent Japanese partition made of rice paper.
1 Floor villa configuration > When car hydraulic lift up :1 kitchen-dining-room, 1 bathroom, 1 seperate W.C, 1 big entrance with corner desk and storage area.
Single Store villa configuration > When car hydraulic lift down : 2 added rooms including 1 bedroom with sliding shoji panel + 1 small living-room.
Railings and the very particular structure of this villa can evoke the deck of a ship, indirect reference to the maritime conquests of the country .
