RiscoWhite House, Portugal

This new Portuguese home is located on the south bank of the River Cávado, in Barcelinhos, offering a wide green landscape immortalized by the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança and the Medieval Tower.

The land is presented in two elevated platforms, supported by high granite walls and hawks from which small flowers emerge, it is here that RiscoWhite is located.

In the act of transmitting its natural condition, the Architecture and accepting the site and its historical legacy, an attempt to transmit the existing language – a small housing unit – without speculation or ambition.

RiscoWhite appears to us as a striped white concrete block, torn silently, that extends along the lowest platform where the volumes gravitate in the serenity of the place, in a game of two heights that enjoys its immense landscape.

Portuguese:

Situa-se na margem sul do Rio Cávado, em Barcelinhos, disponibilizando-se de uma ampla paisagem verde imortalizada pelo Paço dos Duques de Bragança e Torre Medieval.

O terreno apresenta-se em duas plataformas de cota elevadas, sustentadas por altos muros em granito e gaviões de onde emergem pequenas flores, é aqui que se implanta a RiscoWhite.

No ato de transmitir a condição natural, a Arquitetura, aceitou o local e seu legado histórico, tentou transmitir a linguagem existente – pequena unidade de habitação – sem especulação ou ambição.

A RiscoWhite surge-nos como um bloco de betão branco listado, rasgado silenciosamente, que se estende ao longo da plataforma mais baixa onde os volumes gravitão na serenidade do lugar, em jogo de duas alturas que disfruta da sua imensa paisagem.
