Cidade da Maia House | Raulino Silva

The house “Cidade da Maia” is located in the corner of Vila Alegre Street and Ferreira de Castro Street, in the city of Maia. The implantation was already defined on the subdivision’s license and that’s determined the “touch” to the blind facade of the building on the East side, leaving three facades free to North, South and West side.

The house is arranged over three floors, including one below ground level. In the basement there is a garage, a technical area with storage and a laundry. Near to the car access ramp we have a porch to facilitate car maneuvering and it also allows outside access to the garden through the stairs.

In the lower floor we have the main entrance, on the North façade, wich leads us to the lobby and to the stairs to the upper floor. Facing the street, the kitchen and the service toilet. To the posterior zone, we have the office, the dining area and living room, spaces open to the small back garden.

Upstairs, the master bedroom with dressing area and private bathroom, opens onto a balcony facing South. The other two bedrooms face West and have only a private bathroom illuminated by a skylight.
