Description

The property includes a 7-bedroom villa divided into two distinct areas (residence and workshops), with independent entrances connected by a central courtyard and corridor.
The residential part, with an area of 240 m2, includes a spacious living room with fireplace, a large kitchen with dining area equipped with smeg appliances, a social bathroom, an outdoor social terrace, a bedroom with fireplace/stove, en suite bathroom, walk-in closet and private terrace, a double bedroom, and two single bedrooms served by a bathroom with bathtub and shower base.
The workshop part, with an area of 265 m2, includes three rooms, one with a fireplace, used as a workspace, and a large open space, currently functioning as a sculpture workshop.
This property includes courtyards, terraces, and a saltwater pool, lined with green slate.
All rooms have access to private patios, starting with the entrance, which is made through a walled courtyard with two orange trees and a water fountain, where water constantly flowing into a tank gives a feeling of freshness and relaxation.
Rooms with access to private patios, while a large covered patio serves as an outdoor dining area and access to the pool, with a stunning view.
In this project, architect Bartolomeu Costa Cabral valued the interaction of the building with the surrounding space and living conditions. The traditional construction technique of southern Portugal's Taipa was chosen, combined with a concrete structure, ensuring excellent thermal properties for the whole. The soil used in the taipa was locally sourced, promoting a natural and balanced integration with the surrounding terrain.
Electricity is supplied by a photovoltaic solar panel system, stored in batteries, while hot water is generated by thermal solar panels and sourced from a well. The central heating system is powered by fireplaces and radiators connected to a diesel boiler. Thermal control of the residence is ensured by a roof with a 5 cm water layer protected by insulating slabs, with a ventilation system to increase evaporation, keeping the house cool in summer.
Location: about 15 minutes by car from the center and Beja Airport, 25 minutes from the highway to Lisbon and the Algarve, 1h50 from Lisbon Airport, and 1h40 from Faro Airport.
