Art Nouveau House in Portugal
The Park House is located on a quiet, central street in the city of Aveiro, facing a natural, tree-filled area, the city park. It emerged from the alteration and expansion of a deteriorated Art Nouveau building constructed in the 20th century. The facade features various plant, animal, and human elements carved in limestone, whose architectural and historical value was essential to preserve, thus guiding the material and formal character of the rest of the intervention.
Respecting the memory inscribed in the building’s original skin, the Park House unfolds towards the green heart of the city, as if it were carved directly from the essence of the old facade. Its stony body, extruded from the original facade and carved by wooden slats, cuts through space creating a visual narrative that celebrates the passage of time, with lines and shadows dancing to the rhythm of the years.
Constructed with the soul of wood (CLT), the house is organized over four floors: a garage and workspace in the basement floor, as an invitation to introspection and reflection; social spaces on the ground floor, inviting gatherings and sharing; the upper floors house four suites, and finally, crowning the structure, a terrace that offers 360-degree view over the city.
Casa do Parque
A Casa do Parque está situada numa rua calma e central da cidade de Aveiro, de frente para uma zona arbórea e natural, o parque da cidade. Surge da alteração e ampliação de um edifício de Arte Nova construído no séc. XX, bastante degradado. Na fachada destacam se vários elementos vegetais, animais e humanos, esculpidos em calcário, e cujo valor arquitectónico e histórico se impôs preservar, pautando assim o carácter material e formal da restante intervenção.
Respeitando a memória inscrita na pele original do edifício, a Casa do Parque desdobrase em direção ao coração verde da cidade, como se fosse esculpida diretamente da essência da fachada antiga. O seu corpo pétreo, extrudido da fachada original, entalha do por ripas de madeira, corta o espaço criando uma narrativa visual que celebra o passar do tempo, com linhas e sombras que dançam ao ritmo dos anos.
Construída com a alma da madeira (CLT), a casa organizase em quatro pisos: garagem e espaços de trabalho no pis o da cave, como um convite à introspecção e à reflexão; os espaços sociais no piso térreo, convidando ao encontro e à partilha; os pisos superiores abrigam quatro suítes, e, finalmente, coroando a estrutura, um terraço que oferece vistas de 360 sobre a cidade.
