Architect: FERREIRARQUITETOS
Location: Vagueira, Vagos, Portugal
Year: 2017
Total built area: 200 sqm

From the architect: The house develops on a single floor, around a courtyard, through which all the divisions interconnect. The entry point of the house, presents us with the fantastic surrounding landscape, being the intersection between the private and public program. In the transition between the entrance and the open space of the kitchen / living room, a small mezzanine appears, creating a contemplation zone.

All divisions are no longer limited to their wall, with the opening of large windows, and they have as limit the courtyard. One of the main characteristics of the dwelling is the full use of the ceiling created by the slope of the roof. Concerning the constructive solution, we chose to reduce the range of the materiality, looking for the simplicity and reduction of construction costs.
