Villa with pool in Mafra

The project concerns the identification of a single-family house consisting of a residential floor that is below the threshold level and a residential first floor that is above the threshold level, where the parking lot is also located, with 2 covered parking spaces. The sequence of this construction was organized according to the shape and morphology of the terrain and the exposure to wind and sunlight. This project was built taking full advantage of the steep slope of the land in a southwest/northeast direction. Its impact ends up being less in the area of the entrance to the house to the west, with only one floor above the visible threshold level that can be seen from the street on the east façade. Returning to the interior of the plot, the house reveals its greatest volumetric importance with 2 well-defined floors. It is precisely on this façade that it was proposed to open a large balcony that serves the first floor and the entire central area of the house, as well as the opening of the large glazing that serves the entire area below the bedrooms. Floor number 1 is the private area of the house. Through this vertical distribution area, connected to the upper floor, we have access to the 3 suites of the house. The master suite has a full bathroom and a dressing area, while the other suites each have a full bathroom that allows access for people with reduced mobility and are equipped with built-in closets. All the suites are served by small terraces which, without any walls or guards, take advantage of the natural elevation of the land and allow direct access to the entire outside area of the house facing the interior of the plot. The aim here is naturally to maximize direct contact with nature. The first floor is the social area of the house. Access to the entrance is via a ramp with a 6% maximum gradient that ensures communication between the sidewalk outside the plot and the interior of your home. This floor has an open plan in terms of social spaces, where the common circulation and stairs are as small as possible. Positioned next to the north façade of the house near the entrance, we have the space provided for an office, with a private bathroom, which is served by a small outside balcony facing the main road leading to the house, and it is also for this reason that the garage parking space has been positioned back from the road, with a minimum of 2 covered spaces. The entire central area of the first floor is highlighted by the living room equipped with a fireplace where a higher ceiling height has been proposed, and the connection to the kitchen is made through the open-plan dining area. Since the partitioning has been removed, which visibly results in a very appealing area of the house next to the north façade and directly serving the kitchen, a laundry area has also been proposed that connects to the pantry and the covered outdoor clothesline. Access to the outside on this floor is guaranteed by a large terrace that surrounds the common room, the kitchen, the office and also connects to the pool deck and the entire area surrounding the swimming pool to the south, from where you can access the outdoor barbecue dining area, which is covered by a pergola. This dining area communicates directly with both the kitchen and the indoor dining area through 2 sliding doors positioned on the south façade. The exterior elevations reveal the concern for the integration of dynamic architectural elements, with a very contemporary language, and the involvement with nature, with a notable concern for the materials and tones chosen in order to fully integrate this color palette! This villa is still in the finishing stages, but it's waiting for you!
