Pool Pavilion in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal by António Cruz Lopes, Architecture

The Pool Pavilion is a unique project in its context, combining a regular shaped volume with an endless pool and a yard filled with scenic paths and different visual frames.

Its fundamental premise was to give a sense of balance and order to a context with turbulent surroundings while keeping a smooth, light and integrated language.

House in Douro Valley, Portugal by MJARC Arquitectos

There are only a few instances in an architectural career where a client and an architect’s vision unify into an immaculate and complete expression of art and architecture. We were very fortunate to work with a couple who, devoted to the ideals of minimalism’s stark allure, asked us to design a house in the Douro , located on the stunning views over Douro valley.

The desire to interfere as little as possible with the visual topography of the landscape prompted to attach the house to the ground and find façade and roof solutions with a direct relationship to the surroundings. The idea of a \”crouching building\” guides the decisions concerning volume, position, occupation, exterior outfit and façade claddings.

CloakedHouse in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal by Ernesto Pereira 3r

Looking at this project, it is indeed the sensations we experience that leave their mark as we think, walk and live through it.

This project was clearly inspired by the place, a piece of land surrounded by chestnut trees, incredibly ripped into the mountain, flanked by a stream that flows down the hillside and a magnificent open view of the other side of the valley perfectly nestled into the natural landscape.

It was this bucolic scenario that led to an enterprise that had no intention of imposing itself on the surrounding nature, but rather blending, hiding and transforming with it. It gave rise to the “Cloaked House” concept.
