House 9

Loteamento D. Antónia Amorim, Braga, Portugal

This house, located on a long lot, was built between two walls (pre-existences of the design) and a magnificent pine. Two walls to contain the entrance and the pool, around which are articulated, with privacy, the living areas, the kitchen and the bedrooms. A pine tree which, in addition to composing the facade, stands as a manifesto. The lower floor, half-buried, includes services, annexes and a garage.

Unfortunately the large pine tree fell on the last storm ...
