New build in state of interior finishings (client can choose) located in Venda do Pinheiro, 25 km from Lisbon and 15km from the beach of Ericeira. The owner, an architect and a prolific Portuguese artist, was asked to design a house for a close friend who possessed some land in Venda do Pinheiro, North of Lisbon. This is a region of gentle hills, windmills (traditional and some eolic generator

s too), fruit trees and true, serene rural landscape. The quality of the air is of the purest kind and sleep is sound and deep. Being very close to Portugal's capital and airport, it is also about 15 kms away from the beautiful and wild Portuguese coastline.

The property has a total area of 600 m2 which includes the house itself (east/west oriented), a garage for 4 cars (50 m2 and direct access to the house) and a garden with a lemon and an orange tree. Not much has been added to the garden since its construction, as the owner to be never actually inhabited the property.

The house has been built on top of a hill and is made out of two modules connected to each other on the same level in an L-shape. The House consists of 4 bedrooms (one is en-suite with 25 m2 and a closet with 6 m2), 3 bathrooms (the biggest with 8 m2 and includes a hydro-massage bathtub; the smallest one is 3 m2 and was designed for guests), one fully equipped kitchen and a 50 m2 living room with a fireplace. The kitchen has direct access to a backyard with a 12 m2 covered barbecue and a leisure area where trees and flowers can be planted. There are various flower boxes (partly with lawn).

From the very beginning, the quality of the materials used was of utmost importance. This can be observed in the spotless mosaic slip resistant floors, in the double-glazed heat silver windows and beautifully painted walls (10 year guarantee from Robbialac). Beech wood was used in the bedrooms and in the full wall closets. Main areas were floored with top quality anthracite graphite (except for the bedrooms) and a state of the art equipment makes the water instantly hot as it comes out of taps (energy and water saving).

The house comprehends a space underneath for a swimming pool and a jaccuzzi, should its future owner decide for this additional extravagant comfort (1,30 a 2,50). An air box in the house foundations guarantees that there is no humidity whatsoever in the living spaces (or others).

The house includes solar panels, a sophisticated sound system (music columns in every room), central vacuum cleaning, walls and lights around the whole outdoor area.

Additionally, finishings in the bathrooms and kitchen have been left undone on purpose. People are different, personal tastes vary and the architect was sensitive to this detail.
