Light, intimacy, balance and contemplation of the outdoor spaces are some of RCR House striking features – a haven located in a residential area of Anadia, in central Portugal.

Architect: Paulo Martins

GR House in Sever do Vouga
Inserted in a plot of land of irregular geometry and surrounded by constructions of little architectural value, this villa emerges as a consequence of its constraints. If, on the one hand there is a reluctance to visually relate the villa’s interior spaces to its immediate surroundings, on the other hand, there is an uncontrollable desire to turn the villa entirely to face eastwards, towards its view of thunderous beauty and discrete privacy.

Saint Adrian House, Braga
The Duarte Pacheco Quarter where it stands, built between 1935 and 1939, was part of the “Estado Novo” (the authoritarian regime that ruled Portugal from 1933 to 1974) social housing policies in a moment of severe lack of residences with minimal hygiene and health standards for the most excluded and disadvantaged classes.

Casa 15, Braga Property
When you first meet a client, you start traveling through spaces that are not built yet. Even before the client understands what the project goals are, the distinct spaces start taking place, sometimes is a word, other times as a perception of how a material feels when touched, and others, how the light makes you feel.

House in Sta Joana, Aveiro Real Estate
In a street marked by a vast set of housings for the working class, the sense of repetition and systematization of the construction process is a strong characteristic here. NU.MA, architects wanted to follow the same idea – repetition/systematization when designing Sta Joana House.

Second Skin, Figueira da Foz
With a close relation to the Mondego river, the building Second Skin rehabilitated by the architecture and engineering office danielmsantos, evokes memories of the belle époque in elegant Figueira da Foz and gives it a new, bolder and irreverent core.

Tiny houses by Madeiguincho
When my father decided to stop his journey at Madeiguincho carpentry after 30 years, I was working in a conventional architecture studio and was not very convinced that this would be the right path, so I decided to take the risk and took over Madeiguincho Woodwork studio. This new chapter started around 2016.

New Portuguese House
In the concept for this small house in the vicinity of Aldeia de Juso, the tiniest area of flat land and the house’ s, as well as the high density of the new houses yet to be built in the surroundings, forcibly draw us to some sort of “obsession” about the possibilities of dilating space.
