House in Lousada 4Archi Group
On a site with considerable proportions and without the proximity of a built surrounding, the following proposal for a private housing aimed to promote a strong dependency relationship with the existing natural slope. Therefore, it was the shape of the natural ground that dictated the exact location of the building, along with the decision to develop the project along two floors and two distinct volumes, in their formal and material principles.
The first volume, located at the highest level and with a more social nature, stimulates an essential visual relationship between the interior and the exterior. It lays down on the second volume, more private, which explores this same relationship in a more direct way by allowing access to the outside space.
The use of a sloping roof in the first volume intended to transmit a more immediate and clear influence of the local constructions. The choice to use timber as its cladding material was part of the process to accomplish some visual lightness, creating a contrast with the second volume, which appears to exist only to be the support of the first one.

House in Gondomar 4Archi Group
The proposal developed for this private housing had some formal constrains from the beginning, once the construction site was part of a pre-licensed subdivision. Therefore, the formal result ended up being very regular.
The program was distributed along two floors: the ground floor, with a more social nature, and the first floor, more private. However, it was given the possibility of a permanent visual relationship between both, by creating a double height space in the living room area.
With only two fronts and the certainty that the future would attach to its sides two new buildings, the main concern was the design of these two elevations which, in opposite to the formal base of the proposal, were designed to be dynamic. To achieve this purpose, sliding timber panels were used as elements of visual and light control. Simultaneously and strategically, allowing the house façades to have a constant change capacity.
