Designed by Gonçalo Byrne, this set of five villas at Bom Sucesso Resort evokes the futuristic aesthetics of a space station, with bold geometric forms and a striking front structure reminiscent of white airplane wings. This unique architectural feature defines the front garden border and frames the surrounding landscape.

Unlike traditional homes, entry to the house is through the expansive backyard, gradually unveiling an open-plan public area, where the kitchen, dining room, and living room are seamlessly aligned. The entire central space is encased in glass, with no exterior walls, allowing for unobstructed views and abundant natural light.

Beyond this transparent living area lies the private garden, which subtly rises into a small hillside, cleverly concealing the garage beneath it. To access the garden and pool, residents cross two bridge-like structures, reinforcing the sense of fluidity and openness. The swimming pool, with its multiple sections, extends across the entire width of the garden, serving as a stunning visual centerpiece.

The private area, comprising four bedrooms, are positioned slightly lower at the front of the building. They are accessed via two glass tunnels, maintaining the home’s theme of transparency and seamless spatial flow.

However, of the five planned villas, one remains unfinished, while another saw construction halted in 2014, leaving it as a raw concrete structure, a stark contrast to the completed houses.

As Gonçalo Byrne describes:
“Each house is located in the middle of a huge garden. A covered courtyard connects the transparent house walls, giving the impression that the garden is part of the house.”

These villas are a perfect example of Byrne’s architectural vision, where geometry, transparency, and landscape integration create an immersive living experience unlike any other at Bom Sucesso.
