Casa PR (Portugal)

The land around the building rises and falls, dotted here and there with trees. The house is located at the edge of a plain and is accessed by climbing the slope of a private drive. This arrangement satisfied the different experiences and sensibilities of two clients.

The house is one square floor. One corner seems to rest on the upper reaches of the slope, but actually sits on top of the floor below, which is dug into the hill. The other three corners extend out in the air over the lower parts of the terrain. One corner rests atop a cement portico that accentuates the fragility of the glass that encloses the main living space.
