This house was designed to be an example of sustainable architecture and to challenge our concepts of landscape design.
All the architecture project is carved on the slope of the mountains of the Douro valley famous for it's wine and now cosidered by UNESCO world heritage.
Our architects decided to protect the landscape hiding the house on a slope and inside it generate two courtyards to light the interior spaces.
The stone extracted to insert the house is the same stone that remains on the walls. The rooftop is absolutly green. All the windows are positioned according to a pasive solar energy strategy.
The architecture project becames landscape, and the landscape is the most astonishing form of art.
