Tavira Villa

Located on the hills outside the the small city of Tavira, over looking the Gilão River on Portugal’s Algarve coast. The design of this villa draws on the history and materiality of the local vernacular, whilst providing our client with a comfortable, contempary home.

Built within it’s own protective courtyard, all the living and sleeping accomodation has been situated on one floor, with access and vehicular parking available via a lower ground car port and entrance lobby, taking advantage of the steep slope of the site. The slope also allowed us to create an infinity pool looking back towards the city.
