House Foz do Arelho
Caldas da Rainha, Portugal
YEAR
2009
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
BUDGET
$500K - 1M
The land is located on a cliff facing the west
with about 4540 m2, in a area of higher elevation. Its orientation allows pleasant
scenery, with open views over the Obidos Lagoon – Caldas da Rainha in Portugal.
The implementation proposal was based on the
demand of integration of the building on local topography, in order to take
advantage of the sunshine and the views.
The house takes part of the sloping ground,
developing in accordance with the local topography. Several volumes oriented to
the sun and to the views. A part with access to the highest level, other
semi-buried is linked by a common circulation, and both with communication with
the ground.
At the higher level stays the services areas,
which includes a laundry, a toilet service, a pantry, kitchen and a garage. There
are also on this floor, the living rooms and dining. In low-elevation,
semi-buried, are the rooms and their sanitary facilities.
The height of the construction does not exceed
6.00 meters high, however, the perception of the house is very slight because
of is set being partly buried and fuses with the ground and surrounding
vegetation.
The relationship of all spaces with the
outside is a constant. All the areas allows access to the landscaped
environments. The cliff facing the west, where the house was open, the terrain
is shaped to provide a more stable platform. There are outside decks, extending
the rooms, and also built an integrated swimming pool.
The assumption of the house drawing came from
a request of the owner who reported not wanting curves, since he did not like
round houses. So was fulfilled.
