Beira Mar. Residence: A Refined Approach to Coastal Living

The Beira Mar project, located along Portugal's Atlantic coast, is a clear example of modern architecture designed to work in harmony with its surroundings. With expansive ocean views and clean architectural lines, the home demonstrates how considered design, robust materials, and environmental awareness can come together in a seamless way.

Designed for Light and Landscape

Architect Mário Martins designed the home to maximise natural light and connect the interior with its dramatic coastal setting. The building features large, glazed openings and carefully planned orientation, which allow residents to engage with the surrounding landscape throughout the day.

Glazing isn’t treated as an afterthought here. It’s central to the home’s experience. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and fixed aluminium frames open the space up to light and movement, blurring the boundary between inside and out.

To meet the technical challenges of coastal construction - strong winds, salt exposure, and temperature shifts - the project relies on TECHNAL products for the comfort of the homeowners. These aluminium windows, doors, and sliders provide long-term durability, high-weather resistance, and slim, modern profiles that support the architectural intent.

Built to Withstand, Designed to Last

Coastal homes require materials that go beyond standard performance. Aluminium offers a lightweight yet strong alternative to traditional timber or pvc frames, with excellent corrosion resistance and minimal maintenance.

TECHNAL products used in this home were specified for their ability to meet environmental demands without compromising on style. It's this balance of aesthetics and performance that makes TECHNAL aluminium windows, doors, and facades the right choice for contemporary, climate-aware architecture.

A Project that Reflects Modern Priorities

Beira Mar is not about extravagance. It's about simplicity of form, thoughtful use of material, and a strong connection to place. This project reflects a growing demand for homes that are efficient, comfortable, and deeply responsive to their environment.

Through TECHNAL products, architects and homeowners gain the tools to meet those demands - whether they're designing along the coast or in dense urban spaces.
