House in Taíde
Braga / Portugal / 2005
79
This house was built in accordance with the pre-existent farm buildings’ implantation and orientation. The aim was to explore two autonomous construction methods by confronting and intercepting them: one uses the existing granite walls from the farmhouse, its windows and doors, to shelter the entrance garden and house work areas; the other, which enfolds the living areas and bedrooms, is made of a continuous concrete structure with aluminium frameworks. In the garden, a flagstone pavement reunites the swimming pool and the original stone tanks.
