RBR Vilamoura House | João Tiago Aguiar, arquitectos

This luxury villa was in a rough construction phase, with only the structure and masonry completed. Given these limitations regarding formal alterations, the focus was placed on finishes and interior layout, encompassing the aesthetics, function, and performance of each room.

 With large areas spanning three floors, it was possible to create a unique and special programme, which includes a SPA, cinema, and bar, in addition to the more obvious and standard features such as a house keeper’s apartment, laundry, storage areas, toilet for the exterior swimming pool, garage for four vehicles, boat, and motorcycle, as well as a guest house and 5 spacious ensuites with very generous social areas.

Laser-cut corten steel panels with a forest-inspired design were chosen to cover the entire main facade, including the garage.

Notable features include an outdoor fireplace near the main entrance, as well as a swimming pool and another outdoor fireplace embedded in the flooring, both facing south.
