Casa Forca-Vouga | Ricardo Vieira de Melo
Aveiro / Portugal / 2024
House in Forca-Vouga, Aveiro Between exposure and enclosure, the house works on 3 fronts, 3 meter slope and organizes 3 floors plus an attic.
The upper volume functions as a white monolith with excavations that expose a wooden interior. A basement fused into the topography supports it.
Like floating over the plot, the house heads a built front of houses and deals with the topographic transition and street that surrounds it. Inside it extends common spaces on the ground floor dilutting them while reducing circulations. A terrace extends the house to the west.
The basement is excavated, releasing the upper volume to expand maneuvering space for cars.

Entre a exposição e a clausura a casa resolve 3 frentes, 3 metros de declive e 3 pisos.
O volume superior funciona como um monólito branco com escavações que controlam a luz exterior e expõem um interior de madeira. Um embasamento fundido na topografia suporta-o.
Pousando levemente no terreno, a casa encabeça uma frente construída de moradias e lida com a transição topográfica do terreno e rua que a envolve. Com uma implantação condicionada pelo loteamento, organiza-se estendendo ao máximo os espaços comuns do piso térreo em compartimentos que se diluem enquanto reduz ao máximo as circulações.
Um terraço prolonga a casa para poente.
A cave escava-se soltando a volumetria superior em ampliação do espaço de manobra para os automóveis.
