Casa Atalaia, Albufeira - Portugal
Type
A detached villa
built three decades ago and characterized by its contemporary lines and
traditional essence, was left to near abandonment during the last few years.
This is the
starting point for the intervention in this habitation.
Taking as an
advantage the local topography, solar exposition and privileged views, it`s the
main intention to adjust the existing house to new necessities and comfort of
the present, through the construction of two new volumes for the suite and kitchen,
preserving exteriorly the existing trees, proposing also a forestation near the
plot´s boundary wall.
Maintaining the existing
architectural composition, concept and philosophy in the building, the house is
developed through the ground floor level, adapting to the land, with the public
area oriented to South and private area of the house to North.
In this way the
private area of the house it is reorganized, repositioning the kitchen new
volume oriented south, allowing a better operation and connection with the
living room, and also allowing a direct connection to the exterior.
It is intended that
the new suite proposed volume, would exist in the extension of the main axis
for where the private body of the house develops, and therefore could be
distinguished for its singularity and prominent positioning in the plot.
The house
organization through the central functional existing axis culminates with the
new suite volume, and a direct connection to the garden area and exterior
parking, created in the height difference between the new volume and the
existing natural terrain.
The adequacy of the
existing swimming pool follows the same logic of intervention as the rest of
the house, reorganizing the exterior area of patios next to the living room, in
order to be wider and functional.
The traditional
constructive solutions applied in the recovery and extension of this house, are
a basic condition to this intervention, with resource to the regional selected
materials, as for example the use of the regional tiles in the exterior and
interior floors, plaster painted walls in white plastic ink, roofing in
regional tile and interior ceiling covering in wooden structure and treated
cane.
As a primary
intention in the extension built, in its more basic form, would be the e of the
existing construction in its formal and sensorial prolongation, allowing to the
enjoyment of the light through two sky lights and views to West and North,
introducing an element of singularity and contemporaneity, and that by its form
and materials assures a harmonic connection between the new construction and
the former existing structure.
