JVS Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Architect: Nuno Brandão Costa Location: Afife, Viana do Castelo, Portugal Client: Ricardo Ferreira da Silva Collaboration: André Eduardo Tavares, Pedro Almeida, Marta Reis Foundations & Structures: Ricardo Ferreira da Silva Hydraulic Equipment and Fittings: Ricardo Ferreira da Silva Electricity: GPIC, Raul Serafim Barros Silva Project Area: 220 sqm Project Year: 2004 Photographs: Arménio Teixeira, FG+SG – Fernando Guerra, Sergio Guerra, Luís Leite The house, a project for a friend of mine, was meant to fit into the rural scale of the site. All was therefore mostly kept at ground level, in two separate concrete volumes, grazing against the existing granite wall that set the geometry of the plan. Bedrooms, kitchen, office and garage were condensed together. All with sliding doors and panels and very wide openings to the outside. The living room spans the entire width of the building (10 meters), making it a huge space. The suite was placed on top of the slab with a sea viewing window, turning the roof into a living space. A wooden veranda widens the house. The scale of the site was always present in every project and construction detail: Concrete, plaster with iron oxide, solid wooden frames, old Riga wood flooring, stainless-steel sheet-covering, gates and stairs. Outside old irregular granite stone for paths and walls. http://www.archdaily.com/77429/house-in-afife-nuno-brandao-costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
