Visit to the Casa Oculta Construction Site

The visit to the Casa Oculta construction site made it possible to follow the progress of the building works and confirm the careful integration of the house within the natural topography of the site. Located on a steeply sloping plot in Quinta da Coutada, the house develops discreetly and remains almost imperceptible from street level, reinforcing the architectural concept of integration and continuity with the surrounding landscape. During the visit, it was possible to observe the significant progress of the construction works,...

Visit to the Macedo house construction site in Cascais

The site visit to the Macedo house in Cascais provided a clear view of the significant progress of the works, with the rough construction phase now completed. At this stage, the building’s volume is already well defined, making it possible to understand the spatial organization of the different areas and the relationship between the house and its surrounding context. One of the most striking aspects of this project is its structure entirely built in reinforced concrete, which gives the building a...

New Project in Aroeira

We are pleased to share our latest project currently under development: a single-family residence located in Aroeira, designed with bold, modern architecture, distinguished by its volumetric expression and geometric rigor.

Inspired by the vertical planes and the silent monumentality of Louis Kahn’s work, this residence combines solidity and lightness through carefully considered plays of light and shadow. The project explores the relationship between solid...

The foundation slab was completed at the beginning of November, followed by the construction of the reinforced concrete walls of the basement. The construction of the first-floor slab was completed at the end of November, with the relationship between the threshold level and the level of the public access road to the house being visible, approximately 3 meters above. The construction of the pillars to support the roof slab began...
