Machico · east coast · six apartments
Why Machico
1 050metres
A sheltered bay with a sandy beach, a promenade and a harbour. Almost nowhere else on this island has sand. Measured from the front door, not from the town sign.
800metres
The old centre, with its church square, promenade and harbour, is 800 metres away. Fifteen cafés, bars and restaurants lie within 500 metres of the door. Machico is lived in all year. It does not close for the winter.
9minutes
The airport is nine minutes away by car. Funchal is twenty three kilometres down the expressway, about twenty minutes. You land, and you are home.
A short walk away

The house
Three one bedroom and three two bedroom apartments, two to a floor, in a single building. At this scale you choose your apartment. It is not allocated to you.
Interior floor area from the architect's drawings, terraces not counted. Every apartment has its own terrace behind glass and its own parking space inside the building.
Construction is under way and handover is planned for September 2027. Progress is reported week by week, with dates and photographs.
The build

Stage one · now
Work on site has begun. An apartment bought during construction costs less than the same apartment finished and licensed. The most favourable terms are the ones on the table now.
Stage two · structure
Six apartments is a short programme. The frame goes up floor by floor, and every floor is photographed and dated in the weekly report.
Stage three · envelope
Roof on, glazing in, stone on the façade. From here the house looks like its renders and is easy to believe in. The early price exists for those who decide before this point.
Stage four · interiors
Floors, kitchens and bathrooms go in. What was a line on a drawing is a room you can stand in. The closer to the keys, the closer to the price of a finished home.
Keys · September 2027
A finished, licensed apartment carries no waiting and no building risk, and its price shows it. That is why the best moment to buy into this house is while it is being built.
During construction the price is lower than for a finished, licensed apartment. This is not a forecast and not a promise of return.

From the street to your own terrace.
Arrival
The house stands on a dark stone plinth above the road. Steps and the residents' garage door at street level, the three floors of apartments above them.
Under the house
A private garage in the plinth with six marked spaces, one for every apartment, and the lift up to your floor. From the car to your door without stepping into the rain.
The way in
The entrance hall opens to the hills through a full height glass wall. Stone underfoot, timber overhead, your floor marked on the wall.
Your floor
A quiet, timber lined landing with two doors on it: yours and one neighbour's. Six apartments in the whole house.
And out again
Every apartment opens onto a deep terrace behind glass, facing the garden and the mountains or the town and the bay.
Inside
Room areas from the architect's drawings. Interiors are the designer's visualisations; finishes may change.
The house
The walk
Scroll, and the main bedroom of a two bedroom apartment opens in front of you: the wardrobe wall, the stone, the bed.
Floor to ceiling glass, a terrace behind it, and beyond the terrace the bay of Machico and the open Atlantic.
The best part of this apartment is not inside it.
Why Madeira
They call it the island of eternal spring, and the numbers agree. A subtropical Atlantic island on the latitude of Morocco, cooled by the ocean in summer and warmed by it in winter. You do not plan your life around the weather here. You stop thinking about it.

About 15 minutes from the house
The bare eastern cape, ochre cliffs and open Atlantic. The best walk on the island begins down the road.
About 40 minutes from the house
Sunrise at 1 818 metres, standing above the clouds. You can be back for breakfast.
About 25 minutes from the house
The capital: the old town, the market, the cable car to Monte, jacarandas in bloom every April.
About 30 minutes from the house
More than 2 000 kilometres of water channels turned walking paths, level and shaded, through the green interior.
About 1 hour 15 from the house
Trees older than the discovery of the island, standing in the mist. UNESCO World Heritage since 1999.
About 1 hour from the house
A black sand beach under green cliffs with a waterfall falling into the sea.
About 1 hour 10 from the house
Sea pools formed by lava, filled by the tide, clear as glass.
January afternoons around twenty degrees, August around twenty six. Most homes on the coast have no central heating, because nobody needs it.
Lisbon in an hour and three quarters, London and most of Germany in about four, direct. Same time zone as London and Lisbon.
The Atlantic around the island stays between eighteen and twenty four degrees. The sandy beach of Machico is 1 050 metres from the door.
Named World's Leading Island Destination at the World Travel Awards year after year since 2015. The laurel forest is UNESCO World Heritage.
Portugal sits in the top ten of the Global Peace Index. Madeira is its calm corner: small towns, low crime, people who say good morning.
You buy under an EU land registry and a notary, in euros, with the protections of Portuguese and European law.
People spend years of holidays trying to get back here. Six households will simply live here.

From-prices. The exact figure depends on the floor and on how much of the price is paid while the house is being built: the more during construction, the lower the price. Ask for today's list with every option.
Your price, your terms
Between 10% and 90% of the price paid during construction, the difference is six figures. Pick what fits you, leave a contact, and your figures appear right here and reach you the same minute.
Architecture
Three stacked volumes over a dark plinth: grey stone, dark vertical louvres, glass balustrades and a planted wall on the side. The building is meant to be read as part of the hillside rather than placed on top of it.
T2 · living room and kitchen
Cooking, eating and doing nothing at all happen in one space, with the terrace right behind the glass.
