House in Taíde

Póvoa de Lanhoso
Fotografia © Xavier Antunes

This house was built in accordance with the pre-existent farm buildings’ implantation and orientation.

The aim was to explore two autonomous construction methods by confronting and intercepting them:

-One uses the existing granite walls from the farmhouse, its windows and doors stonemasonry, to shelter the entrance garden and house work areas.

-The other, which enfolds the living areas and bedrooms, is made of a continuous concrete structure with aluminium frameworks.

In the garden, a flagstone pavement reunites the swimming pool and the original stone tanks.
