Casa Piano | Pedro Carrilho Arquitectos

For a subdivision in Odivelas, a new single-family house was designed in a contemporary style, whose architectural concept is based on the plot's structure and visual alignments with the surrounding area. We called it the 'Casa Piano'!

With an east/west orientation, this building has a linear and clear shape on the plot that stands out both in the formal composition and functional logic. For the backside area, it was decided to align the social areas on the ground floor, not only because of the sun exposure but also because of the connection to the outdoor with the pool, garden, terrace and the surrounding natural landscape; for the street area and north side was chosen a facade study with a more opaque and less exposed elevation to guarantee house's privacy.

Being one of the client's requirements for the family's new home, this project tries to meet the philosophy of living concerning the holistic dimension of the House. Harmony and tranquillity were the main concepts to start the design.
