Located in the Portugal Northwest border, the Vila Nova de Cerveira
House was designed for weekend use, promoting the relationship between
interior and exterior, integrating the astonishing surroundings on a
glass interior. Emphasizing the equilibrium with the surrounding
morphology, the horizontal volumes contrast with the stone coating of
the basement floor, on a material and chromatic counterpoint dialogue.
The upper floor is divided in two volumes, that intersect in the axis of
horizontal and vertical circulation, conferring efficiency to the space
articulation. Based on minimal intervention, the outdoor spaces promote
relaxation and enjoyment of the surroundings. Bringing the interior
configuration accuracy outside, the communion needed and desired in a
summer house is accomplished.
