In Phase Two of Bom Sucesso Resort, architect Álvaro Leite Siza Junior envisioned 11 exclusive houses atop a hill at Volta Alta.
Though the project remains unbuilt, his innovative approach is well-documented on his official webpage.
Ávaro Leite Siza Vieira’s design takes full advantage of the varying elevations, allowing the houses to blend with the natural landscape while maintaining a sense of tension and movement. As he describes:
“The different heights of the houses allow a play with the landscape and at the same time give the four different construction elements stability. Seen from the outside, these elements create tension and dynamism. They conduct a dialogue – both with each other and with the surrounding nature. They give the houses transparency and direction, materiality and color, and guide everything to form a harmonious whole.” – Álvaro Leite Siza
This project reflects Siza Vieira’s signature architectural language, where form, materiality, and nature come together in perfect balance. Although unrealized, these houses stand as an intriguing architectural concept, awaiting the opportunity to be brought to life.
