Utopia Villa In Carnaxide, Portugal

Utopia Villa In Carnaxide, Portugal (15)

The modern abode that we’re about to describe was designed by Gonçalo Byrne Arquitectos  and was completed in 2012. As with most modern homes, the most important parts of the designing process were related to the privacy and comfort of the living areas and the creation of welcoming outdoor spaces.

The privacy part was ensured by implementing a polygonal ring that encircles the entire upper level along the home’s perimeter. The façade features a hermetic look, as it is composed of anodized and polished aluminum pieces that reflect the beautiful sky and the surrounding vegetation. The ground floor incorporates the kitchen and the other social spaces, all of which are connected to an outdoor courtyard. The ring that we mentioned before surrounds the upper level exclusively, which means that the lower floor enjoys exceptional sun exposure.

The upper floor includes a wide corridor as well as a reading room, a writing area, a library, a study and several rooms that overlook the courtyard.
