Almancil, Algarve, Portugal

From the initial architectural design to its completion, every detail was conceived with environmental awareness and respect for the surrounding landscape. Built with ecological materials and local resources, the villa blends seamlessly into nature, minimising its visual impact while maximising comfort and energy efficiency.

Natural materials extracted from the land were used to clad the interior walls, while chemical-free paints, solid wood doors, wardrobes, and bedroom floors enhance the sense of purity and well-being. The exterior flooring and roof were also crafted using local materials, helping to maintain a comfortable and consistent indoor temperature of 21 °C throughout the year.

Rainwater recovery, a borehole for groundwater collection, and a wastewater separation and treatment system allow water to be reused for irrigation in the garden areas — further proof of the home's sustainable vision.

Set on a generous 9,440 m2 plot, this modern single-storey villa offers approximately 390 m2 of refined living space designed for comfort and accessibility. The open-plan living area seamlessly integrates a fully equipped kitchen with top-of-the-range appliances, a spacious dining and lounge area, a laundry room, and a guest bathroom. Four elegant en-suite bedrooms ensure privacy and tranquility, while the property also includes a garage and full accessibility for people with reduced mobility.

Outside, the villa offers a variety of serene and inviting spaces. Landscaped with low-water-consumption plants, the gardens invite you to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding natural environment. The swimming pool offers magnificent views, complemented by a deck featuring a fish pond and a gentle waterfall — creating an atmosphere of peace and relaxation.

The villa's energy efficiency is exemplary. Skylights direct natural light into the interior spaces, while a Controlled Mechanical Ventilation system ensures fresh, clean air throughout the day. Comfort is maintained through an underfloor water-based heating and cooling system, complemented by solar panels and a low-consumption heat pump for water heating. A 5.6 kW/h photovoltaic system and certified external thermal insulation (Weber Therm) guarantee minimal energy use and maximum sustainability.

A unique and pioneering Zero Energy project in Portugal, this exceptional villa embodies a perfect harmony between sustainability, innovation, and contemporary luxury.
