Lagoon Village

There is always something happening at Lagoon Village. Just minutes away from the iconic beaches, the new development project benefits from proximity to all kinds of amenities, including golf courses, hiking trails and water sport activities. The soon-to-be-opened Surf Parque will offer an immersive surfing experience for sport enthusiasts visiting Portugal’s renowned surfing coastline near Óbidos.

Designed by the Monark atelier, led by architect Pedro Quadrado, Lagoon Village celebrates the landscape and the memory of the region. The individual volumes seem to emerge from the earth, while the interiors are defined by geometric shapes that capture and distribute daylight, creating lucid and healthy living spaces.

In some villas, large glass surfaces frame the horizon, capturing views of the Óbidos Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, turning each home into an extension of the landscape. In others, they immerse residents in a sea of green from the surrounding trees. All villas seamlessly open to private outdoor spaces, offering expansive terraces, generous balconies, jacuzzies, and outdoor fireplaces.

The plots, ranging from 900 to 1200 square metres each, offer ample space to live and create new memories. The interiors match the unique characteristics of each villa, with distinct layouts that offer a sense of individuality and exclusivity. Besides the enchanting aesthetics, sustainability is deeply embedded in the project too. Photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicle chargers, alongside the use of sustainable building materials, help the buildings meet the high energy and environmental standards.

Disregarding fleeting trends, Lagoon Village draws inspiration from the aesthetic purity of Mediterranean architecture, where the serenity of the natural environment is enhanced by the careful integration of the built space. Elements such as natural stone and wood create an organic, almost tactile texture, while expansive glass surfaces amplify natural light. Filtered through the canopies of near-century-old olive trees, sunlight transforms every space into a haven of charm and well-being.

To create vast openings that bring the light inside, you need strong yet slender window frames that blend in the architectural design. For Lagoon Village, Reynaers Aluminium systems were chosen, expertly manufactured and installed by local partner Noxinova.

SlimPatio 68 minimalistic sliding solutions stand out for their concealed frames and flush thresholds, establishing extremely thin aesthetics without compromising on performance. It is the perfect match for the Lagoon Village: on the one hand, light can enter freely thanks to the system’s minimal sightlines, ensuring incredible views. On the other hand, its highly insulated profiles limit heat transfer during summer and keep out the harsh weather conditions during the off-season.

MasterLine 8 tilt-turn windows and exterior doors also contribute to residents’ thermal comfort, with all units achieving the highest A+ rating. However, there are many more angles to sustainability besides energy efficiency. For instance, MasterLine contains recycled and highly recyclable materials, which is why this circular solution has earned the stringent Cradle to Cradle certification. A responsible choice for any project!

Lagoon Village presents a new narrative where architecture, landscape, and technology interact seamlessly. Each villa embodies a commitment to authenticity, respecting the natural contours of the land and embracing light as a fundamental element. It is a reflection on purposeful living, where every detail expresses an architecture that inspires and welcomes, free from excess yet rich in identity. Reynaers Aluminium and its partners are proud to be contributors to this significant project.
