Contemporary Architectural Villa With Saltwater Pool In Benfica, Lisbon

Set in one of Lisbon’s established residential neighbourhoods, this newly built three-bedroom villa offers a refined combination of contemporary architecture, high-quality materials and a carefully designed outdoor environment.

Built entirely from the ground up while preserving the original façade, the property creates a distinctive dialogue between the character of the existing architecture and a contemporary interior conceived for modern living.

The architectural project was designed by architect Marcelo Cardia, whose professional background is associated with renowned Portuguese practices including ARX and Aires Mateus.

Arranged over two floors, the 122 m² private gross area is designed around a bright and fluid living experience. The ground floor features an open-plan living and dining area connected to the kitchen, with direct access to the garden and pool, together with a guest bathroom.

The upper floor comprises three bedrooms, including a private en-suite, complemented by an additional bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the property offers a landscaped garden designed to create a sense of privacy and tranquillity within the city. A carefully planned planting scheme, lawn with automatic irrigation and a saltwater swimming pool provide an intimate setting for outdoor living and entertaining.

The interior specification reflects the property’s architectural character, with a carefully selected palette of natural and contemporary materials. Features include Italian travertine marble in the kitchen and bathrooms, Diasen lime-based wall finishes, Bosch Series 6 appliances, concealed air conditioning throughout and multi-layer oak timber flooring.

Minimalist Cortizo Core Vision aluminium framing enhances the relationship between the interior and exterior spaces, bringing natural light into the house while maintaining a clean contemporary aesthetic.

The property also includes provision for an electric vehicle charging point at the front of the house.

A rare opportunity to acquire a newly constructed architectural residence in Lisbon, combining contemporary design, premium finishes, a private landscaped garden and saltwater pool, while retaining the character of its original façade.
