CASA DA PAZ | Marlene Uldschmidt Architects
Archilovers best project: year 2017 Carvoeiro / Portugal / 2015
Casa da Paz is a project which remodels the 1990s-built detached villa located adjacent to a golf course in the Algarve, Southern Portugal.
The project overhauls an existing building to adapt it to the lifestyle of the current owners.
The request included an extension on the roof terrace to create a family room. In addition to the new room, the process began by thinking about the current spaces and how to make them more functional.
Connection and Light
The entrance hall was tight and dark and strangled by the volume of the kitchen. This space on its own was in need of a profound renovation.
A double-height area at the entrance was created to achieve an airy space and the kitchen was relocated and restructured.
The kitchen is now a space that is communicating with the living and dining area.
The entrance with the double height connects visually with the living room of the first floor.
The hall is illuminated by the light flooding through the glass panels embracing the first-floor living room.
Materials
The clients asked for a touch of Portuguese design in the house.
The concept, therefore, features colour schemes like orange and blue, and an arrangement of historic tiles, decorating the wall in the dining area.
This is framed by the use of white marble from Estremoz.
