Moradia Gafanha da Boavista in Portugal by Arch. Adalberto Dias

Article source: Arch. Adalberto Dias

The plot in Gafanha da Boavista is narrow and long.

The program was interesting and not vulgar for a single family dwelling.

The clients, young couple formed in the Nordic countries, had a different concept of life and another notion of family structure and their relationships.

Three spaces and a corridor, in three volumes, was the concept of the project.

The space of the couple resolves itself in the rectangular body twinned to the construction to the north, in relation of the color of the brick / adobe.

On the ground floor, a double “altar to the books” with a private courtyard with an olive tree. On the upper level a large, bright, quiet room with a view over the ria.

The children’s room draws on the mass cube of painted solid brick on the middle floor between the garage and the rooftop terrace overlooking the ria.

The central location of the house is built on the single-story parallelepiped behind the other two, and into the garden, filtered by an elm plane.
