Brunhais is a small village surrounded by mountains and a huge blue sky in the north of Portugal. Immersed in a paradoxically rocky and verdant landscape, this house is part of a set of three projects belonging to three brothers.

The program was elementary, the project should host a couple and support the activity of the family´s company.

The slightly uneven terrain allowed the overlapping of two volumes. These two volumes materialize the surroundings and marks these two different functions. The white one for living and the gray one volume made of natural stone, a kind of laboratory.
