Summary
Bernardes Arquitetura designed Casa Tejo, an 835-square-meter villa in Oeiras, Portugal, completed in 2023. The house features a panoramic first floor elevated on steel columns that creates a "lookout point" surveying the ocean where the River Tagus meets the Atlantic. The architecture responds to the coastal location with a design that "gazes entirely towards the sea," featuring large glazed openings, strategic orientation for views, and materials that complement the natural surroundings.
