PRIVATE HOUSE SUBTERRANEAN EXTENSION

ALCABIDECHE, PORTUGAL

The 400m² subterranean extension is a cutting-edge addition to the existing building, defined by sharp, modern monolith concrete architecture. Panoramic windows face the ocean and the garden, flooding the space with natural light and framing uninterrupted views. A sleek skylight raises the ceiling height and casts additional lighting along the perimeter, enhancing the sense of openness.

On top of the extension's slab sits a green roof, enhancing insulation and contributing to the building’s sustainability efforts. This design feature allows for a new terrace directly below the existing building, offering an additional outdoor space that blends seamlessly with the surroundings.

Inside, the extension is divided into two key areas: a professional music recording studio and several modern apartments. The recording studio is equipped with high-end acoustic treatments and modern equipment, offering a functional space for music production. The apartments feature open, minimalist designs that optimize the natural light from both the skylight and ocean-facing windows. Every aspect of the extension is designed with a focus on functionality, efficiency, and clean, sharp lines.
