Plot for Housing Construction in Alto de Galamares – A Refuge with Sea and Mountain Views, in the Heart of Sintra

With an Approved Project and licenses pending payment, this house has a planned gross construction area of 234 sqm. 

At the top of Galamares, near Colares and right in the heart of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, a unique architectural project is born at once a house, a refuge, and a manifesto for a new way of living. With privileged views over the valley and the Atlantic Ocean, this 1,080 m² plot includes an approved project for the construction of a 3-bedroom house (T3), with a gross building area of 234 m², harmoniously integrated into thesurrounding landscape. 

The architectural design, by Studio LPP, was conceived to accommodate a family seeking quality of life, functionality, and beauty. The project proposes a fluid living experience between indoor and outdoor spaces, with a contemporary language rooted in the territory, respecting sustainability principles and a strong connection with nature. 

Upon arrival, one is welcomed by a generous courtyard, functioning as the central distribution space from which the remaining social and private areas unfold. On the ground floor, through gentle level changes and a mezzanine, there is the double-height living room—the heart of the home—connected to the kitchen and office. All these spaces benefit from abundant natural light and direct or visual connection to the outdoors, encouraging integrated living with the garden, swimming pool, water tank, and vegetable garden. Also on this floor, there is an entrance area with a vestibule, hall, and a guest bathroom. 

The upper floor is dedicated to the private area of the house, with three bedrooms facing the Serra de Sintra, Palácio da Pena, and Castelo dos Mouros. The master suite includes a private bathroom, walk-in closet, and windows facing east and west, allowing for natural light throughout the day and open views over the valley. The two additional bedrooms and shared bathroom complete this level, offering comfort, functionality, and unique views over the Monte da Lua. 

The lower floor includes a multipurpose room, laundry, technical area, storage, bathroom, and a second courtyard that provides natural light and cross-ventilation. 

The house also includes private parking for three vehicles and, thanks to its positioning on the site, benefits from optimal solar exposure—east, south, and west. Developed with passive design solutions and based on sustainable principles, the project promotes efficient, comfortable living in harmony with the natural surroundings. 

The location offers the ideal balance between tranquility and accessibility, allowing for a countryside lifestyle without giving up urban proximity. It is located 8 minutes from Sintra's historic center, 10 minutes from Praia Grande, and 12 minutes from Praia das Maçãs and Azenhas do Mar. Nearby are a variety of services, local shops, and, just 15
minutes away, the prestigious international schools TASIS and CAISL. Lisbon
International Airport is about 35 minutes away, ensuring excellent national and
international connectivity. 

More than just a house, this project represents a life proposal. A place where time slows down, where one can work, build family memories, and live in harmony with nature. Here, between the mountains and the sea, between architecture and silence, a soulful future is built. The images shared are from the arquitecture project.
