A Minimalist House Takes In The Magnificent Views Of Southern Portugal
In Southern Portugal there’s a remote little village in a
region surrounded by mountains and valleys and out here amid wonderful, lush
landscape there’s a stunning house built by Vitor Vilhena Arquitectura in 2018.
The plot wasn’t empty and this contemporary house was actually built on the
ruins of an old structure.
The site presented many advantage, the most important of
which were the views of the wonderful landscape unfolding all around it. The
best place to enjoy this amazing scenery from is up on the roof where there’s
also a quite unique swimming pool.
Apart from a desire to maximize the views, the architects
and their clients agreed that the house should also put an emphasis on natural
light, more exactly on the amount that enters the house and its impact on the
architecture, interior design and ambiance. That being said, the E-facing
facade can open up completely to let the outdoors in. The interior spaces are
organized into two main sections: the day zone which includes social functions
such as the living room, kitchen and dining area and the night zone which contains
the bedrooms and service areas. This distinction takes advantage of the
building’s orientation and overall form and structure.
