HOUSE ON A WAREHOUSE

The brief comprised a family house atop an existing warehouse, partially buried, featuring a flat slab with open views to the Serra de Sintra, to the south. The house shape utilises the existing structure, dividing the two main areas within a single corridor: facilities to the north and living spaces and bedrooms to the south, towards the outdoor area. An existing slope, in poor structural condition, set the tone for the new wall and facade, towards the east.
