Enveloped in the charm of Foz do Douro, we find Casal de Passos, an exclusive condominium designed by renowned architect José Carlos Cruz. Located on Travessa de Passos, the development consists of a residential block with ten two- to four-bedroom apartments and two four- and five-bedroom houses.
Casal de Passos was once a family estate covering 6,400 m², established in the mid-18th century. With an area of approximately 2,900 m², it comprised agricultural land, gardens, a main building, a garage, a greenhouse, a storage house, a chicken coop, a tank, and a waterwheel, all enclosed by a granite wall.
For this project, José Carlos Cruz’s architecture office considered a new residential building and a villa, as well as the renovation of a pre-existing house, with a palatial layout, in the style of a small castle.
Casal de Passos is a distinctive development, and its design was based on differentiation from the beginning.
Three architects from José Carlos Cruz’s office were challenged to design three different buildings that would make the most of the property and respect its characteristics. None of these three professionals could contact each other, but the final project had to make sense and communicate as a whole.
The result was the creation of a new residential block reminiscent of the Arabic/Moroccan style, a new villa reminiscent of the barns of large estates, and the rehabilitation of the pre-existing house, a palatial, castle-style villa dating from the 18th century.



The union of the parishes of Aldoar, Foz do Douro, and Nevogilde, which is home to the project, stands out as a privileged area of the city of Oporto, which mainly features premium single-family homes.
