PORTUGAL MODERN

2005

House 220 was conceived as an L-shaped villa crowned by a distinctive tower, designed to capture sweeping views over the Óbidos Lagoon, the town of Caldas da Rainha, and the distant Montejunto mountain range.
The layout balanced privacy and openness: the long wings embraced a sheltered courtyard, while the tower served as both an architectural statement and a vertical lookout. From its upper levels, residents would have enjoyed panoramic vistas that connected the home to its surrounding landscape.
Although never constructed, the design remains a striking example of how form, orientation, and elevation can work together to frame the beauty of Bom Sucesso’s setting.
