Cactus Villa
Description
The Cactus Villa project sits in the centre of Melides, within a calm green landscape typical of the region, where Alentejo vegetation meets the sea breeze.
These conditions set the brief: value integration with the still-untouched landscape and create a place in tune with nature, encouraging a continuous relation between outdoor and indoor experiences.
The scheme settles on the ground, adapting to the irregular topography and sandy soil. It follows the cadence of the surroundings with a simple, gentle architecture, interrupted only by an exterior route that connects all areas.
Material selection plays a central role, with a clear priority for natural materials. The main goal of Cactus Villa is to achieve a symbiosis between landscape and construction, using neutral tones and wood to deliver unity and calm between inside and out.
