This house is located on a plain, a few kilometres inland from Portugal’s Atlantic coast. This area is sparsely populated, with scattered houses built on plots of various sizes. Originally, such properties – including this one – were intended for foresters or farmers.
The interior spaces were adapted to the available space, while the design favoured plenty of natural light and ventilation for indoor comfort.
The living spaces of the new house rekindle a proper relationship with the exterior and are made up of two adjacent volumes.
In a low and long volume is the kitchen, the dining area, and the living area in an open space.
Another higher and cubic volume contains the stairs that give access to the bedroom on the upper floor and a support zone in the basement.
The entire basement is lit and ventilated via three patios to the north, south and east.
