Eruption of a Dreaminess | Office of Feeling Architecture, Lda

Eruption of a Dreaminess is a project that is developed with the intention of corresponding to the materialization of a dream. The vision of creating a housing unit from a pre-existence perfectly framed topographically in an idyllic place, in which the aspiration is to associate the dream and vision of the client to the reality we face. The project assumed itself in this duality between affirmation and its negation, having for that purpose developed the entire built mass floating in front of the pre-existence, in an association of affirmative but not decoded geometric shapes, connected among themselves, in a not very perceptible way, as if it were a dream. The volumes are organized making up the functional and habitable area of the dwelling, in which each body corresponds to a living area of the dwelling, functioning as independent spaces free to be used without dependence on the main access to the dwelling. The materiality complements the conceptual logic of the dwelling, keeping the stone as anchor material, bringing the whole structure to the ground and respecting the pre-existence context, and the ochre concrete applied to the floating volumes as if pieces of soil had been detached from the ground. Glass is used in order to maintain the absences, where transparencies allow visual permeability, framing the view to the key points of the surroundings.
