More than a collection of plans brought to life, Casa Par is defined by its views and surroundings.

The project’s plasticity is achieved through the use of light and organic materials, fostering a unified and harmonious composition. The walls are finished in white stucco, the sloped roofs are covered with flat tiles, and the frames are crafted in Azul Algarve stone, reflecting natural light through varying hues and textures. Inside, comfort is prioritized with pine finishes and light tones, blending the timelessness of traditional Portuguese architecture with technical versatility, in an approach that is both thoughtful and unpretentious.

The placement strategy includes a swimming pool and outdoor arrangements that provide access to the underground garage level. The design features two intersecting architectural volumes that organize the interior program. This program is distributed across three floors: the -1 level houses the garage, laundry, and technical areas; the ground floor includes the social areas and a guest bedroom; and the first floor is dedicated to private spaces.

The essence of Casa Par lies in how it respects and engages with its surroundings. Humble in scale, it embraces the beauty of its setting while discreetly asserting its verticality.
