Hi first timer,

Going from memory as i look at these plans about 5month ago and have thrown the plans away now, The building is much smaller than stated, cant remember the dimension now but this trick is getting very common now in the ceara, (not too sure about this happening too much in Grande de Norde yet) let me explain by example the builder will build up a house at say 70M2 inside build, he will the maybe put a big roof overhanging the brick work so legally the speaking this built adds say another 20M2, then there a big patio for the car to sit on adding another 30M2 'to the living build' thens maybe s there also a another patio (a few paving slaps) added at the back of the outside house to another 15M2. Then before you know it we have advertised a huge built house at a generous 135M2 to give the impression to a european 2.4 family that theres loads of room for them all inside the house.

Also i remember that the villa s on plan was designed for full air flow with air bricks and open air gaps, that good and is of cause popular in hot areas, but what is crazy is that they put airconditioning included on the plans, you have one of these methods but NOT both!! You can only air con a closed space not an open space is impossible. So if a designer can make a obvious mistake like that then makes me think what else!

Also i personally, if i remember correctly, didnt like the general layout of the houses. one bedroom is open space with no privacy and also had to walk through one bedroom to get to another, So When coming to sell it say in 6years and buyers see in the real view i think alot of people would be put of by the layout.

That aside the area is amazin, with lots of expensive classy existing villas nicely spead far apart along the lagoon so great area.

Hope that helps and that we area talking about the same development
