PORTUGAL MODERN

Designed by Madalena Cardoso de Menezes and Francisco Teixeira Bastos, the Casa 360 project at Bom Sucesso consists of five T4 villas with garages, of which only two were completed, while one remains under construction (Lot 358) and three were not built. Located along Rua da Lagoa, these houses were designed to maximize comfort, landscape integration, and spatial fluidity.

At the heart of this project is the architects’ pursuit of an enhanced living experience, carefully considering plot size, solar orientation, and views, particularly towards hole 7 of the Bom Sucesso golf course. A key feature of the design is the ability to access the rooftop via the suite’s courtyard, offering an elevated vantage point with unobstructed views of the Óbidos Lagoon.

A strong indoor-outdoor connection is established through large glazed openings that lead to a series of courtyards—social, service, and private—ensuring both openness and functional zoning. The natural slope of the terrain is also utilized, with a vegetated embankment at the southern boundary blending the lots into the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless visual and physical transition between the property and the golf course.

The eastern façade houses the bedrooms, ensuring morning light and privacy. The living and dining areas, adjacent to the kitchen, form a cohesive space that extends onto a covered south-facing terrace, reinforcing the integration between interior and exterior spaces. A distinctive element of the design is the rotation of the garage and guest suite by 45º, creating a subtle but effective spatial separation between the main house and the auxiliary structures.

With its thoughtful spatial organization, strategic use of terrain, and seamless integration with the landscape, Casa 360 exemplifies a refined architectural vision that enhances both functionality and the experience of place within Bom Sucesso.
