Luxury Villa
PROPERTY INFO
Innovative Architecture in a unique and truly breathtaking setting, this luxurious contemporary property has been voted one of Europe’s 50 best beach villas and has been featured in The Times, The Sunday Times, Condé Naste Traveller, and a host of international architectural and design publications.
A stunning architectural showpiece, the property was designed to take full advantage of its unique location on a beautiful escarpment meadow with wonderful views of the Algarve coastline and pretty village of Praia da Luz.
Set in a protected area on an exclusive cliff top location with magical views flowing from the escarpment meadow, over Praia da Luz and to the Algarvian Coastline, the house was designed using the contours of the land to create the impression of a single level property floating unsupported from the hillside.
Extensive glass frontage further develops the idea of a ‘floating’ house. This maximizes light and space, providing a perfect flow of indoor – outdoor living whilst taking full advantage of the gorgeous sea views from all angles.
The house has a Bauhaus aesthetic with open style living, high ceilings and geometric contours, softened with thoughtful use of materials and finishes.
A long water mirror borders the entrance hall of the villa, and lies between the large living room and kitchen with reflections of glass, sea and the pool creating a feeling of transparency. This mirrored pool flows through the villa to generous terracing with an outside kitchen and dining area, all over looking Praia da Luz and offering wonderful sea views.
Further light flows into the upper level from a glassed in central courtyard bordering the hallway and leading to 4 spacious bedroom suites, all with contemporary fittings – one of the en suites boasts a freestanding bath set in a full length window whilst another offers a huge rain forest shower. A fifth studio / bedroom suite is located on the lower level, along with a butler’s kitchen, private cinema screening room, games area, and a large 4 car garage.
Further features include a central Home Control System to manage lighting, security and media, iPod docks and access to a central media library from all rooms, Wi-Fi and a Business Centre on the lower floor.
A property of true substance and style, designed, decorated, and finished to perfection; this strikingly sleek ultra-modern villa redefines the expectations of Algarve real estate.
