PORTUGAL MODERN

Designed by Gonçalo Byrne, this set of 25 T3 rowhouses on Rua do Sol Poente is locally known as “Rusty Gates” due to the dominant presence of metal gates at the entrance, which complement the dark red tones of the buildings.

As Gonçalo Byrne describes:
“The house extends towards two terraces. One is private, completely protected from the outside world and open only to the sky. The other is public. It starts at one end as part of the house and merges with the golf course at its other end (to the south).”

Entering the house through the gate, you arrive at a private front yard with a centered tree, offering a framed view through the house towards the golf course, which gently fades into the landscape.

The first level houses the private rooms, while the lower level contains the kitchen, dining, and living areas. These spaces extend into a covered terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The terrace gently transitions into the golf course, surrounded by pine trees, enhancing the natural integration of the architecture with the landscape.
