House in Barcelos

Private house in Cambeses, Barcelos. The study started January 2006, with planning approval in September 2008.

The house has 304 sqm of total area, and a gross building area of 288 sqm.

The house footprint is designed based on the articulation between the existing alignments and the new proposed access road, which enables both car and foot access.

Given the context, our objective was to turn the living spaces to east, considering this is where the most interesting visual points are, and to make rooms faces outh due to the quality of sun exposure, privacy and relationship with the existing topography. On this side of the building the existing ground level is higher, enabling a connection and continuity between interior and exterior. On the overall, we can say that the social areas are at ground level, and the private areas on the upper level.
