Luxury Lifestyle Awards proudly announces Vieira de Moura Architects as the recipient of the award for Best Luxury Villa Architecture for Villa Fortaleza in Portugal. This standout residential project, located on the cliffs of Vila do Bispo in the Algarve, exemplifies architectural strength, spatial intelligence, and a masterful response to its environment.

Villa Fortaleza was designed to capture unobstructed sea views from all living spaces, making use of a steeply sloping site to its advantage. The villa features three expansive levels, wide terraces, and distinct architectural identities on its north and south façades. While the northern face maintains privacy through minimalist design, the southern side opens dramatically to the Atlantic with complex geometry and expansive glazing.

The villa’s layout, orientation, and energy-efficient systems highlight the firm’s integrated approach to contemporary coastal living. Solar heating, natural ventilation, and locally sourced materials contribute to the project’s sustainability goals.

Founded in 2021 by Architect Hugo Moura, Vieira de Moura Architects is already gaining international recognition for projects that combine environmental sensitivity with bold architectural moves. Their portfolio continues to expand across Portugal and into global markets.

“Villa Fortaleza demonstrates thoughtful design, bold execution, and a deep relationship with its landscape,” said Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce. “This project reflects the forward-thinking approach we are proud to celebrate.”
