The project is authored by the Contacto Atlântico studio, responsible for the rehabilitation of the Rossio block in Lisbon, where the world’s largest Zara is located.
The Contacto Atlântico studio recently completed the construction of a single-family house in Quinta da Bicuda, Cascais. The project, with 600 square metres, was developed by architect André Caiado.
The dwelling features a structure distributed over three floors, including a basement for the garage and technical areas. The ground floor contains the common areas and the kitchen, while the first floor houses the three bedrooms.
The project, which began in 2019, prioritises natural light through large glazed surfaces. The house integrates into the surrounding landscape, including a swimming pool and green areas.
The construction respects the natural profile of the land and stands out for its compact volumetry. The large balconies and covered outdoor areas contribute to a fluid connection between interior and exterior spaces.
Contacto Atlântico, based in Estoril, has been operating in the architecture market for around 30 years. Among its most significant projects is the rehabilitation of the Rossio Block in Lisbon, where the world’s second-largest Zara store is currently located.
