A geometric exterior that hides a bright and Portuguese holiday home.
Designing a house for vacations is a spatial and programmatic exercise that, associated with a temporary use, should help users relate to each other and the surrounding exterior space. Morphologically, the house is defined by two rectangular volumes of simple and contemporary shapes. However, referencing the traditional country houses, we tried to rescue some themes from this imaginary, in order to establish a dialogue between the modern and the traditional, both in terms of spatiality and materiality.
Although the exterior assumes apparent modernity, we explored the use of wooden shutters and ceramic lining, materials inherited from vernacular architecture, now reinterpreted according to contemporary ways of living and building. Inside, the spatiality is defined by variable ceiling heights resulting from the gabled roofs, characteristic of traditional architecture. This configuration, in addition to providing visual breadth, allowed to hierarchise the two social areas of the house – living room and kitchen. Although the morphology of the gabled roofs defines these areas, the kitchen has a lower ceiling height that emphasizes the relation with the outdoor terrace. At the same time, the living room is the centre of the house with a double ceiling height.
Regarding the exterior, the main social spaces are located inside the patio: a dining area with barbecue, shaded spaces and a swimming pool.
To guarantee privacy to users, the front elevation and more specifically, the entrance to the house is hidden by a wall that provides a private approach to the entrance door.
We believe that the challenge of designing a modern house with a rural experience resulted in a harmonious building as a consequence of an interior spatial richness and a minimalist and elegant exterior.
