Architects: Luís Rebelo de Andrade, Tiago Rebelo de Andrade
Location: 5450 Bornes de Aguiar, Portugal
Collaborators: Madalena Rebelo de Andrade, Raquel Jorge, Pedro Baptista Dias
Area: 27.0 sqm
Year: 2012
The project for these houses was developed in partnership with the Modular System Company. The idea was to get an object that would be far away from the orthogonality and from pre-established concepts associated with the modular construction.
The characteristic design associated with the slates and the wood on the base suggests a snake gliding between the trees. Like a wild animal in its natural habitat, the house suddenly appears in the visual field of the observer.
The choice of materials gives an instant sense of connection with nature at the same time it establishes a coherent image of the proposal into a perfect symbiosis between the house and the Park.
