CASCAIS GUEST HOUSE
The CEO of a major property investment group wanted to convert a large family house into a high-end guest house. The house is positioned on a slope where the entrance level is the top floor and then it develops across four floors. Once visited we saw series of very disconnected and disproportional rooms and areas. Our intervention focused on finding a common element that would tie in all the floors creating a sense of freeflow and enabling the connecting areas to be used and offer adjacent programme to the usual found in accommodation buildings.
A social floor offering a health centre with gym and spa opens up to a large terrace and outdoor pool with a bar, lounge and garden areas. Floor below enables guests to have access to a private park with orange trees and other produces, together with other spaces in the house, offering new services to its guests.
