PrizeHonorable Mention in Architectural Design / Residential Architecture
Firm LocationAlmancil, Portugal
CompanyKey Zen Arquitectura, Lda
Lead ArchitectAnabela Macieira
Sitting on a hill of the Algarvian coast (Portugal), Villa GK is the result of the interplay of the client’s requirements: a house that allows living on one level, but at the same time blends gently into the steep hillside allotment. Maximum privacy and yet maximum vision and friendly communication with neighbours. Villa GK is a low energy house which has in its core a bioclimatic analysis and green-thinking, side by side with a flexible and sleek, sophisticated, contemporary design, made with ecological building materials.
