(The Project)
Alvôr — The Breeze sits on the waterfront where Alvor's old fishing quarter meets the estuary. Costa Lima Arquitectos arranged two perpendicular blocks, one turned south toward the pool and the sea, the other west over the Ria. Twenty-four apartments share gardens, a clubhouse, pool and spa.

(Our Approach)
The imagery was composed around the project's essential duality, sea light on one façade and estuary calm on the other. Exteriors establish how the white volumes hold the edge of the village, while interiors follow the open plans through expansive glazing toward terraces, gardens and the changing colours of the lagoon.
(The Craft)
A virtual reality experience extended the stills into space, letting future residents move through the apartments and sense the constant presence of water on both horizons. Light calibration carried the work, setting the soft haze of the Ria against the harder brilliance of the open Atlantic.
(Final thoughts)
Sea light on one side, estuary light on the other. Every image makes a choice between them.
