Inspired by Portuguese architecture, Alvorada villas exude a friendly and relaxed charm. From the arched windows and doorways to the rounded walls, Alvorada homes are elegantly proportioned and well-suited to the climate. The russet terracotta roofs, decorative turrets and other ornamental flourishes hint at their Portuguese pedigree. Interior plans offer a choice of three to five bedrooms. All designs feature generous living space, along with balconies and terraces for a comfortable al fresco lifestyle. Greenery and tranquil surroundings add to the appeal of an enchanting residence.
