Vila Nova de Gaia, PortoHouse T3 in Canidelo with 297 m²







Near Douro Marina, in Foz de Gaia, an exceptional home stands out for its privileged location, contemporary architecture and connection with the landscape, brought together in a unique expression of sophistication and exclusivity. Some homes stand out for their location. Others, for their architecture. This property combines both qualities and adds something even rarer: the ability to surprise. Designed by an architect, this home showcases a contemporary, sophisticated and timeless aesthetic, where every line, opening and space has been carefully conceived to create a truly unique residential experience. Its understated, elegant exterior does not immediately reveal what awaits inside — a succession of spaces designed to provide comfort, privacy and a privileged connection with the surrounding area. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly into the landscape, offering privileged views of the river and the sea. Up on the roof, a terrace leads to a swimming pool with panoramic views of the surroundings, Porto and the sea. More than a leisure space, the rooftop is a place for relaxation and socialising, with a lounge area where you can fully enjoy the landscape and the light throughout the day. One of the project’s most distinctive features is found in the pool itself: a strategically positioned skylight at the bottom creates a unique visual connection with the living room, above which the pool appears to float. This surprising architectural solution reinforces the home’s distinctive character and transforms the experience of living there into an ongoing dialogue between its different spaces. Outside, a private garden wraps around the entire home, enhancing its sense of retreat and privacy. At the garden’s lowest level, a seating area is framed by exposed rock formations, creating a natural, intimate setting designed for moments of relaxation, socialising and contemplation. The materials and construction solutions further reinforce the property’s distinctive character: terrazzo flooring, minimalist aluminium window frames, hydronic underfloor heating, a garden and landscaped entrance courtyard, a garage for two cars and outstanding energy efficiency, with an A+ rating. More than a home, this is an opportunity for those seeking a different way of life — where architecture, design, natural light, privacy and nature exist in perfect harmony. A true contemporary retreat in one of the most privileged settings on the southern bank of the...
