What does your dream house look like? Will it be a charming, rustic country house? Or a modern, elegant and luxurious home? Or perhaps a cosmopolitan apartment in the heart of a big city?

The dream takes as many forms as the people who dream it and what is perfect for one is far from the reality of another. Still, an independent, modern, functional home with a touch of luxury is a desire often expressed when it comes to housing and we are sure that this desire is reflected in the house we have to show you today!

This fabulous villa was designed by MIGUEL ZARCOS PALMA and won us over with its elegant and distinct lines, but also bold and avant-garde, capable of pleasing the most demanding clients. Come and explore them with homify and, if you don't already know, discover a very special company.

The company

This wonderful house clearly shows the added value and excellence of one of the great architects we have in our country, contradicting the very Portuguese tendencies of looking abroad for the quality we have in our country or of valuing size to the detriment of proximity!

The company Miguel Zarcos Palma was created in 2006 by the architect who gave it its name and his desire to reconcile his experience with the practice of architecture at a local level, serving the needs of private clients and companies. It currently has a young team, recruited in the region where it operates, and therefore deeply knowledgeable about the local reality and its idiosyncrasies, highly dedicated to innovation and quality search. It's not a huge company in size, but it's immense in quality and dedication and that's worth a lot. What good is a big company if it is far from its customers and their reality?

Modern architecture with a tone of nature

This house is truly fascinating and we will have difficulty covering all aspects of the project here, so if you have any questions or curiosities at the end of the article, don't hesitate to contact the company.

The house has two main facets:—the public one, on the main facade, with the entrance and parking; and the private one, on the rear facade, completely open and with a magnificent outdoor leisure area.

The main facet

On the main facade, the image of the building is marked by the parking visor, whose dizzying angle stands out from the main structure and gives it greater dynamism. The colors are basic, and the contrasts between white and black are softened by the presence of wooden details.

The vertical wooden slat that camouflages the main entrance is discreet but makes the house more cohesive with the natural surroundings and makes it more contemporary, moving it away from the rigidity of the original modern concept.

The outdoor leisure space

Lux! This is the word that comes to mind when we look at this leisure space with a swimming pool that opens up a large part of the house's interior spaces.

The wooden slats once again give coherence to the style, embracing its welcoming tone and a magnificent barbecue area with an outdoor dining room that functions as an effective extension of the indoor living room. The wooden deck that surrounds the pool makes the entire space more comfortable and exclusive. It's easy to imagine a wonderful summer day spent in this space!

The pool

As you can see, this is a closer view of the pool and you can see other areas of this house.

The pool

The swimming pool is a water mirror that refreshes the interiors and makes them more pleasant. Its minimalist geometric shape does not compete with that of the house itself and, on the contrary, contributes greatly to highlighting its angles, materials and colors.

A perfectly designed outdoor project

Good architecture does not neglect any detail. A project to build a house will never be definitively completed without taking care of the surroundings with a good exterior project!

In this case, the care put into every detail is visible, whether in the outdoor lighting, which will enhance the house so much at night, or in the planned minimalist gardens.

At the entrance, a slender and tall cypress tree makes a modest but visible contribution to creating a greater sense of verticality and highlighting the wood of the slats.

The entrance hall

As seen from the exterior, the interiors feature an elegant and refined style, based on tones of white, light grey and natural wood color. The sumptuous marble stone, in two contrasting tones, adds luxury and beauty and the more rustic stone on the staircase wall gives a natural look.

What to say? Talk about the closet with wooden niches, the lighting under the steps or the interior garden? It's better to relax and contemplate. It is a fascinating and imposing atrium that captivates us!

Details

What a wonderful vision… We are already taking notes for our dream home!

The living room

The living room and dining room appear in an open plan with the entrance. Since the style of the furniture is charmingly austere, given the voluptuousness of the structure of the house itself, it is on the black marble fireplace that we focus all our attention on. Also, notice how the stone is subtly repeated on the coffee table. Perfectly designed style details!

The dining area

Like the exterior, the lighting project also assumes a discreet but essential presence inside to enhance the various facets of the spaces.

The kitchen

We say goodbye to this fabulous house for a space that is very dear to us:—the kitchen!

In this perfectly designed and custom-designed kitchen, the colors of the house itself are repeated, in shades of grey, white and wood, in a deliberate act of visual and aesthetic coherence with the outdoor area, with which it has a direct connection.

We love the island and, of course, the wooden bench table that follows it. Space and functionality with flawless kitchen design!
