Are you ready to walk into a science fiction film? You don’t even have
to open the door of Sky Base One to say yes, as the exterior immediately brings
a spaceshipto mind. The brainchild of Alexander and Vanda Everke, this property
is inspired by the cult saga Star Wars and is the ultimate
materialisation of a passion, designed by Bespoke Architects. And if you
thought we were talking about a landmark in America, you should be aware that
this house, which was clearly not designed to be viewed as a distant object, is
actually located in Carvoeiro, in the Algarve. As you walk from the main gate,
there’s no forgetting that the sea is close by as you pass along the round wall
of the courtyard, which hides a surprise, a secret garden that leads to the
main entrance. Star Wars inspiration can be felt in every detail and the
approach to nature, balance and the relationship between the whole is based on
traditional Chinese Taoism.
Designed to the highest standards, this ‘spaceship’ perfectly combines
indoor and outdoor living, featuring grandiose relaxation and entertainment
spaces, five bedroom suites, a versatile basement and stunning panoramic sea
views from the terrace and infinity pool. Inside, avant-garde design elements
abound in a project conceived as a hideaway for sci-fi fans. Sky Base One is
spread over two floors. The upper level opens onto an incredible terrace
lounge, complemented by an outdoor fireplace and a suspended infinity pool,
perfect for taking in the sunset. On the lower level we find the five fabulous
bedroom suites, all with views of and access to the garden, ensuring that all
guests have an exceptional contact with nature. The grandiose basement is home
to a garage for several cars, a cinema room, gym and sauna.
With its highly sophisticated finishes, this property is the first of
its kind in the Algarve region. A perfect combination of comfort, innovation
and security, it is currently an attractive investment opportunity in an
underdeveloped region, with a prime location and irresistible Algarve charm. But Alexander and Vanda’s taste for science fiction extends
to other creations. The couple also own Villa Skyfall, a mansion also built in
the Algarve in honour of the 007 film and a sort of unofficial James Bond
museum. Here, they keep a private collection from the film, such as some
original Aston Martin cars used in the film. In this property, various details
allude to the secret agent’s universe, from the entrance gate to a secret
cinema room, which is accessed by voice command by the personal assistant
Moneypenny.
In addition, Villa Skyfall houses the offices of the Spy Manor
production company, founded in 2019 by Vanda Everk. Alexander and Vanda have
extensive experience in the high-tech sector. As a result, this film production
company based in Portugal develops, creates and produces its own dynamic and
innovative content and develops its own real estate inspired by legendary
films.
Alexander and Vanda Everk exude imagination and invite us to feel this
enthusiasm for science fiction in a unique and immersive embodiment of their
passion for the world of entertainment and life’s distinct pleasures.
