*컬러로 재탄생하는 19세기 타운하우스 [ Pedro Gadanho ] The GMG House In Torres Vedras, Portugal

19세기 시즐 타운하우스는 이제 강렬한 컬러로 무장됩니다.

팀버튼 영화 속 강렬하며 특이한 캐릭터가 살아 있을 것만 같은 하우스의 특별한

인테리어 디자인은 기존 내부공간 속 고풍스러운 디테일과 살아 움직이는 듯한 현대적인

색감이 조화 속에서 만들어 집니다. 이전 공간을 형성하는 디테일과 데코를 살리는 동시에

백색의 컬러로 마감합니다. 이에 반해 현대적으로 다시 디자인한 각 공간들은

다양한 컬러로 이전 공간과 묘한 대비를 이룹니다.

특히 하우스에서 가장 인상 깊은 곳은 3개층을 연결하는 계단실의 터키옥 컬러 입니다.

대담한 색의 사용은 자칫 촌스러울 수 있는 터키옥 색을

주거 내부의 다양한 원색 컬러를 통합하는 주조색으로

내부 인테리어 디자인을 정의합니다.

Pedro Gadanho is a very active figure in all that encompasses architecture. Known as a teacher, curator and writer as well as an architect, he makes sure that his knowledge base covers, well,  nearly everything on structure & design. Based in Lisbon, he is the editor of the BEYOND Short stories on the Post-Contemporary - a bookazine,  he writes the Shrapnel Contemporary blog and contributes regularly to international publications. We came across him through his 2010 GMG House creation in Torres Vedras, Portugal.

This 400sqm residence is a vibrant theatrical house, which a character from a Tim Burton movie would gladly reside in and start living adventures! Great changes were made to this once gloomy 19th century sizeable townhouse, the most radical of which was turning the existing entrance and stairwell into a triple height connector and painting it a light turquoise. This is in fact where the fun begins; as soon as you walk in sporting an oversized cartoon like smile. Looking inside the playful structure, it is all about the angles and shapes where the dramatic shape interventions insert themselves almost surgically into the existing space.

When taking in the sliced detailing, the round edges and the space compartments take you back to reminisce about the 1960’s, all combined with a new sense of great modernity. The master bedroom with the headboard/cupboard division is a perfect example. In this fully refurbished attic, the palette is solely white with an angular ceiling play. Stepping out onto the terrace, it’s once more about fun and games with the uneven floor boards making life that much more exciting. Overlooking the Y.K. blue swimming pool and the view out into the real world, you are have an overwhelming feeling of thankfulness for architects such as Gadanho who think outside the box and well into the dream.
