“The project aims to emphasize the unique natural characteristics of the location as a means for its promotion. The houses are located to the east and the swimming pools to the west, freeing up as much space as possible for the garden between neighboring houses. This disposition affords lighting and a spatial perception related, as I remember, to the thick, solid house walls of days gone by.” Manuel Aires Mateus.
