villa alva
2026
sines portugal
residential building
the architecture resembles a contemporary mediterranean villa, seamlessly blending building, water, and landscape into a single composition. the ensemble does not consist of a single compact structure, but rather of several low-lying, pavilion-like volumes staggered along a central reflecting pool. this creates an architecture that feels less like a closed house and more like a habitable landscape. the individual structures feature striking single-layer pitched roofs that cantilever far beyond the facades. their varying slopes create a dynamic roofscape and lend the otherwise minimalist ensemble a sculptural quality.
light-colored exposed concrete forms the calm, solid base. large-format glass surfaces almost completely dissolve the facades. black steel profiles precisely define the structure. warm wood surfaces in the interior create a natural contrast.
