Montenegro architects contains tróia residences within abstract white volumes

Located on the tróia peninsula in southern portugal, ‘troia MED’ is a small resort containing six individual homes.

designed by local architecture practice montenegro architects, the residences are contained within an abstract series of volumes angled towards the neighboring atlantic ocean. while the elevation oriented towards the town is adorned with no windows, the opposing façade presents sweeping sea views.

of the three storeys, only two are visible with the third sunken into the region’s rolling terrain. this varied landscape is continued internally where a playful display of light and shadow is established. each unit comprises a range of common rooms with kitchens and washrooms. the garden surrounding the property does not have a clearly defined boundary, but instead is understood as a continuation of the building, naturally integrated within its context.
