Article source: XYZ Arquitectos Associados This project refers to a family house located in a residential street, perpendicular to the avenue by the sea. It’s located on an allotment with a mandatory pre-defined implementation of 200 m2 and a construction area that also could not exceed 400 m2. Topographically the land has a slope from East to West with about 1 meter apart.  Image Courtesy © Luís Ferreira Alves

The clients particularly wanted each room in direct and independent coexistence with the patio/pool, characteristics inherent in the way of being of the family.

The 1st level is occupied by the garage, storage, laundry and has direct car access from the street through a ramp. The pool machinery house is also at this level but with access from the outside. The 2nd level is occupied with two suites and storage. The 3rd level is where the pedestrian and main entrance in the house takes place and where the social program is reunited consisting of entrance, lounge, kitchen/eating area and toilet support. The 4th level is occupied by two more suites and an office.

The house is closed to the outside (street), characterized by the stone façade, and opens into the allotment interior through the glass front.
