约10.500平方米的不规则地块矗立在一个面向西南的斜坡上，在这里可以看到阿尔加维的海岸。角豆树、橄榄树、桉树和杏仁树等植被突出，将我们带到了传统的阿尔加维山脉。在物业的中心区域，恰好是最倾斜的地形，有一个100平方米的小住宅楼。传统的阿尔加维建筑，可通过存在明确的体量和一些特征性元素来识别，如烟囱或带有装饰突起的屋顶露台。
The irregular-shaped plot of about 10.500 sqm stands on a slope facing southwest, where it is possible to observe the Algarve coast. The vegetation of carob, olive, mastic, and almond trees stands out, bringing us to the traditional Algarve mountains. In the central area of the property, coincident with the most inclined terrain, there is a small residential building with 100sqm. The traditional Algarve architecture, recognizable by the presence of well-defined volumes and some characteristic elements, such as the chimney or the roof terrace with decorated cornice.
该项目对现有的建筑进行了重新设计，将房子的所有社交区域（厨房、客厅和餐厅）与新的户外休闲区直接相连。在户外休闲区的下层，一个新的体量容纳了房屋最私密的空间和四间卧室。通过将这个约150平方米的新建筑体量置于低层，目标是在卧室中实现更大的私密性，同时不在视觉上阻挡现有建筑对阿尔加维海岸的景观，增强其优越的太阳方位。在享受社交和户外空间时，老房子脱颖而出，而新建筑则不可见。所有的房间都有一个小型的私人庭院，将室内区域延伸到室外，保持了私密性。
The project reformulates the existing construction, placing in it all the social areas of the house (kitchen, living room, and dining room), in direct contact with the new outdoor leisure area. At a lower level, under this outdoor leisure area, a new volume holds the most private spaces of the house and its four bedrooms. By placing this new volume of about 150m2 of construction at a lower level, the goal is to achieve greater privacy in the bedrooms without visually blocking the views of the existing building to the Algarve coast, enhancing its privileged solar orientation. When enjoying social and outdoor spaces, the old house stands out while the new construction is not visible. All rooms are complemented by a small private patio that extends the indoor area to the outside, maintaining privacy.
在从Estiramantens向北发展的道路上，也就是通往房子的主要通道上，可以看到整个建筑，原有的房子为新的现代建筑加冕。这个新建筑反映并重新诠释了阿尔加维传统建筑的视觉、物理和空间原型。
On the road that runs from Estiramantens and develops towards the North, the main access to the house, it is possible to see the whole building, with the pre-existing house crowning the new and contemporary construction. This new construction mirrors and reinterprets the visual, physical, and spatial archetypes of the traditional architecture of the Algarve.
