Casa Castanheira features an “L”-shaped floor plan designed to emphasize the separation between private and social spaces. The connection between these areas is made through a gardened corridor that links the exterior to the interior.

The private area is enclosed with wooden panels that can be fully opened, allowing direct access from the bedrooms to the garden, pool, and a sauna nestled within the woods.
