Inspired by the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley and the region’s traditional wine cellars, the Splendouro project redesigns the landscape of the Afurada district overlooking the mouth of the river.
Designed by NN Arquitectura, the 11 houses in the programme stand out from the local housing thanks to the modernity of their standing seam QUARTZ-ZINC® façades and roofs.
This choice is not just aesthetic. It is also based on durability and resistance of the zinc material to salty winds. Contemporary elegance and sustainability meet where ocean and river join.
