Casa Abuxarda 1: Fragmentos' Pine Forest Residence in Cascais
Fragmentos has completed Casa Abuxarda 1, a 760-square-meter residential project in Alcabideche, Cascais, Portugal, in 2024. Curated by Susanna Moreira, the house is set within a private condominium amid an extensive pine forest, emphasizing calm and isolation. The design integrates the home into its natural surroundings through material contrast, volumetric fragmentation, and a close relationship with the terrain. Interior design was handled by Isabel Câmara Pestana, landscape architecture by Sofia Raimundo, engineering by 360 Eng, and construction by ENGCON. Photographs were taken by Lourenço Teixeira de Abreu.
