Casa do Miradouro in Madeira, Portugal by Dirk Mayer ArchitectsSunday, June 21st, 2015Article source: Dirk Mayer Architects A Family house with two studios. Our aim was to break up the relatively large volume as far as possible within the limitations and to create different rooms, terraces, covered outdoor spaces and courtyards. The two units are separate and yet a whole. The fantastic views along the North coast of Madeira are enjoyed fully. A large glass area in the South allows to take advantage of the winter sun in the otherwise north oriented house.  Image Courtesy © Dirk Mayer Architects
Quinta H in Madeira, Portugal by Dirk Mayer ArchitectsTuesday, May 12th, 2015Article source: Dirk Mayer Architects This renovation and extension of an old stone house on Madeira Island has been designed ecologically, changing the existing building only minimally and using sustainable materials for the extension. To stop humidity in the walls in contact with the earth behind the house, a new wall was built at a little distance, creating small patios behind the house bring natural light and ventilation to the ground floor.

Cabeço do Resto House in Madeira, Portugal by MSB ArquitectosWednesday, February 27th, 2013Article source: MSB Arquitectos The ground seems inappropriate for the building. With a very steep slope, which extends from south to north, the first impact is the extreme difficulty for the implementation of a house. the project provides an initial response to this setback, refusing to shape the land with retaining walls, and taking advantage of the slope to \”drop\” the program of the house and dividing the volume in two separate platforms, connected with a vertical element that binds these two moments.
