This Portuguese project was commissioned in 2004 by the client who has purchased a piece of land and wanted to build a home there.

The place had a breathtaking view and that turned out to be the core of the whole project.

Located on top of a valley, Jorge Guedes's house appears as a large picture window that covers the landscape. The house is an organic whole, composed by three bodies, which extends through the floor, searching each one of the volumes for the best orientation, solar and landscape, closing in itself, the different valences of the house.

The spaces that are not facing the valley, bathroom, laundry and kitchen were provided with a small orange courtyard that allows them to benefit from direct sunlight without creating imbalances in the elevations.

100 Planos Arquitectura oversaw the project implementation with responsibility for project design, construction management, choice of materials and adherence to highest environmental standards.

Total building cost came just under 100 000 Euros.
