Casa no Meco is a single-family house located in Aldeia do Meco, a small village on the Portuguese Atlantic Coast. The proposal was a simple building with a pitched roof that follows the village identity and the longitudinal shape of the lot. On the street facade to the north, the small openings on the huge whitewashed walls ensure privacy and acoustic protection. Inside, the house gradually opens out onto its south-facing garden through large windows covered with exterior wooden shutters. The materials and construction solutions respect the local tradition and hark back to well-known images of mediterranean villages. It is through a contemporary approach of subtraction that the undesirable surroundings are contoured and the privileged sun exposure is exploited.

A Casa no Meco é uma moradia unifamiliar localizada na Aldeia do Meco, uma pequena aldeia na costa atlântica portuguesa. Propõe-se um edifício simples com uma cobertura de duas águas que respeita a identidade da aldeia e a forma longitudinal do lote. Na fachada da rua a norte, as pequenas aberturas que compõem os enormes planos brancos garantem privacidade e protecção acústica. No interior, a casa abre-se gradualmente para o seu jardim voltado a sul, através de grandes janelas compostas por portadas exteriores em madeira. Os materiais e as soluções construtivas respeitam a tradição local e remetem para imagens bem conhecidas de aldeias mediterrânicas. É através de uma abordagem contemporânea de subtração que se contorna a envolvente indesejável e se aproveita a exposição solar privilegiada.
