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.
Like an elevator, the central module of this architecture transforms it into a 1 floor villa when Lift-parking rises to the surface...
...or into a single-storey villa with full rooms when :Lift-parking is on basement positionnin : it signs the most impressive feature of this atypic house.
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 Lift-garage is on groundfloor : 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, 1 seperate W.C, big entrance and vestibule with storage and office areas.
Single-storey villa configuration > when Lift-garage is on basement : 2 added rooms including 1 Bedroom with slided shoji panel + 1 small Living-room with sofa.
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 .
