House in Lousado
Lousado, Portugal
Type
YEAR
2008
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The house is
situated on a 3000m2 family farm where everyone relates but requests privacy. The farm features long platforms towards the
river with rich walls in texture that create different areas with fruit
trees. At the upper level one founds the
access to the farm and most of the proximity relations with the existent
construction on the north surroundings, extremely uncharacterized. For this reason, the house faces south and
the river, the less built areas with the most trees.
The
maintenance of most of all beautiful and locally traditional walls was very
important, in such a way that these participate on the spatial organization of
the house, establishing a particular connection with both the glass panels and
the painted concrete. Hence the house sits on one of the walls that separate
two platforms resulting on a two storey house, each with a direct relation with
the outside and where the wall bursts through the windows contributing to an
interesting inside spatial definition given its particular texture, now on the
living area and kitchen, situated on the ground floor.
As the south view seen from the upper level is
not that interesting given its industrial character, one chose to place the
bedrooms on this level framed by patios that function as their extension to the
outside. This solution allows an increase of outside area for diverse uses of
leisure as also provides great privacy.
It’s clear the harmonious relation between the
volume and the surroundings at the lower level with large windows framing the
better view to south, containing the north view behind the volume that correspond
to the bedroom patios on the upper floor. These patios guarantee the autonomy
desired between the house and the platform where it “lays” assuring excellent
leisure areas to south, east and west.
At the upper
level one finds the entrance where the relation with the south landscape is
immediate and with the lower platform through the distribution hall with two
storeys. The elevation at the main entrance is drawn by a white volume with
small pieces of coloured glass and on the inside a big wardrobe on the bedroom
hall. On this floor is clear the separation between the family area of three
bedrooms, wardrobes and bathrooms, with the less private area of an office and
guest suit. Exactly on this side one finds the lobby and stairs connecting to the
lower floor where again the different areas are clearly distinguished, the most
public area with living and eating area, then the kitchen, laundry, pantry and
service bathroom for the floor and the garage. The entrances for the less noble
areas are dissimulated by wood panels.
The weightless
of the volume is defined by the fragmentation and the decision to separate
horizontally both levels as well as due to the hanging of the projection of the
patios over the inferior level and platform, which helps accentuate the
transparency of the lower level.
