Casa 103 is a minimalist house located in Algarve, Portugal, designed by Ultramarino. The residence is located in a historical center of a fishing village.

In order to integrate with the surrounding architecture and history, the studio decided to explore the concept of "living behind the wall." They created a facade which would serve as a physical barrier between the public and private areas while enhancing the visual connection with the village and river. (5)
