Casa de Campo em Mouriscas
This
project is located in the centre of the country, on a typical
Portugese village. Here, the intention is to build a country house
for familiar retreats on the months of summer. The construction was
implemented along the land, merging itself with the landscape,
preserving the entirety of the existing tree strctures. The L-shaped
volume rises two floors on the southwest end, allowing a unique view
of the sunset.
The design of a house for seasonal use challenged us to create a specific spatial and programmatic concept. The organization of the interior favors the coexistence of those who inhabit the place and also creates a close permanent relationship between the interior and exterior. On the exterior, a contemporary language is developed through the projection of a modern volume, with straight lines and wide openings, simultaneously using traditional materials, in order to achieve a harmonious integration between the building and its surroundings.
