The house is build freestanding and uphill, with the lower parts being constructed below ground level. The architects have taken high standard measures for isolation and water draining, so you can enjoy a hassle-free, comfortable climate in the lower floors of the house.

The architects have gone to al lot of effort to get approval for two frontside terraces, normally never allowed by the Câmara. Both terraces are south facing and connect you directly with the center. Clearly with the upmost terrace, connected to the open living/kitchen, offering you the most stunning view, over the historic center and the Sado river.

Whenever the sun gets to warm, you simply switch to the more shaded and private backyard.

In total the project offers 56m2 of outside area, spread over two frontside terraces ( 22,86 m2 +  10,54 m2) and the enclosed backyard (22,88 m2).

The area of Fonte Nova is know for its large collection of small cafés, bars and restaurants, most of them with outside terraces.

Simply stroll around and have your morning coffee in one of the local pastelarias. Or enjoy a perfectly grilled fish, catched by the great fishermen of Setúbal or the famous choco frito for lunch or diner. There's also a choice of excellent meat/fish/fusion dishes from the Japanese, Brazilian or Indian kitchen, all within minutes walking distance of your new home.

Being located in the historic center means you're within 10-15 minutes walking distance of the famous Mercado do Livramento, the central square Praça de Bocage, the ferryboat to Troia and the riverside beaches of Setúbal. In addition the world famous Serra de Arrábida beaches and hiking trails are within public transport reach.
