Located in a rural Algarve, the Casa do Vale da Margem was developed by the studio ultramarine | marlene uldschmidt architects. Standing on an area partially classified as an Agriculture Protected Zone, the project is integrated within the surrounding landscape, in a harmonious and balanced way.
The project for Casa do Vale da Margem consist in the recovery and expansion of a country house, traditional from that region. Therefore, it was added a new volume to the pre-existing one to bring light and enlarge the space, and several levels were introduced taking advantage of the accentuated topography. 
A long stone wall involves the new construction and separates the land from the building. The large windows invite contemplation of the surrounding landscape, typical from rural Algarve.
