Luxury Single-Family Home in Cascais: Rehabilitation and Sustainability
Nestled in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods of Cascais, this luxury single-family residence is the result of a thoughtful rehabilitation of an existing structure. Led by a renowned Architecture Studio Cascais, the project carefully combines the original charm of the building with contemporary standards of comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Extensive interior renovations and a new façade cladding breathe fresh life into the home, while preserving its historic identity.
Inside, the floor plan was completely reimagined to maximize natural light and ensure smooth circulation between living areas. A spacious open-plan living room and dining area flow seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen, outfitted with state-of-the-art appliances and custom cabinetry. Wood flooring in wide planks, mineral-based wall finishes, and bespoke joinery create a serene, sophisticated environment. Bedrooms and private quarters were designed with comfort in mind, featuring enhanced acoustic and thermal insulation and smart climate control systems for year-round energy efficiency.
Sustainability was at the core of this Architect Cascais project. The new exterior is clad in a cork-based render—a 100% natural, renewable material with outstanding thermal and acoustic properties. This choice reduces the home’s energy consumption, regulates humidity, and minimizes its environmental footprint. Surrounding landscaping embraces native species and low-water irrigation systems, forging an eco-friendly garden that requires minimal upkeep while enhancing the property’s aesthetic value.
Outdoor amenities include a sleek private pool with a treated-wood deck, a covered lounge terrace ideal for entertaining, and a discreet two-car garage designed to blend effortlessly with the architectural composition. Every detail reflects the meticulous expertise of Architecture Projects Cascais, where sustainability, luxury, and quality of life intersect.
This rehabilitated luxury home in Cascais stands as a prime example of how architecture can honor the past, embrace modern living, and champion environmental responsibility—all within the heart of Portugal’s premier coastal community.
