THE WAY
Anchored on the edge of a cliff on the Algarve coast , the mirador faces the immensity of the Atlantic ocean. The position on the site provides a privileged view of the surroundings, situated in the direction parallel to the ruins, seeks to establish a dialogue between intervention and context.
The program is solved in a single piece, which can be read as a monomaterial structure that gives continuity to an existing path, which remains at the top level of the border line, and subtly detaches from the ground leading the visitor towards the horizon.
The search for harmony between opposites, and the balance between architecture and nature, creates a place of memory and contemplation, lengthens a way to be taken, where the only sound is the noise of the sea.

O CAMINHO
Ancorado na borda de um penhasco da costa do Algarve, o mirador encara a imensidão do oceano Atlântico. A posição no sítio proporciona uma visão privilegiada do entorno, situado na direção paralelamente oposta às ruínas, busca estabelecer um diálogo entre intervenção e contexto.
O programa é resolvido em uma única peça, que pode ser lida como uma estrutura monomaterial que dá continuidade a um caminho existente, que se mantém na cota de topo da linha de borda, e sutilmente se despega do solo conduzindo o visitante em direção ao horizonte.
A busca de harmonia entre opostos, e o equilíbrio entre arquitetura e natureza, cria um espaço de memória e contemplação, prolonga um caminho a ser percorrido, um lugar onde o único som é o barulho do mar.
