The project presented a single-family home divided in two separate volumes – main house and external supporting facilities – arranged in order to confer a rational balance to the diversity of uses to the surrounding outside spaces.

The house has two floors. The ground floor has a garage for two cars, a kitchen and a living room with a small home office. The 1st floor has four bedrooms, toilets and a laundry room.

The exterior spaces are divided into two groups; access to the main house – gray entretons – and garden spaces which have direct relation to the living room, kitchen and balcony of the rooms.

The refined texture of the concrete in the walls and exterior ceilings, metals and glass are the main constructive elements.

Light levels, inside and outside the property, are controlled and all the window blinds are automatically corrected, to prevent sunlight damage to decoration and furniture. Also, certain windows are opened or closed, to maintain ventilation and keep the villa cool with minimal environment impact.

Costa Nova Sailing Club, Ílhavo
The Costa Nova Sailing Club, one of the oldest nautical clubs in the estuary area of the Ria de Aveiro, was divided into 3 main spaces: the restaurant, the members’ bar and the terrace. For each of these spaces, there was a specific audience, with different preferences and traditions, which provoked the great challenge of this project.

Can an architectural contemporary volume be a good neighbor to rural surrounding? This request had everything to be straightforward. MMVarquitectos were to do a remodeling and amplification project of a restaurant.

Contemporary House in Lisbon
The project arises in this case from the site. A topography that descends smoothly, a place where it can be built on a longitudinal surface with a triangular geometry. The wishes of their future owners also intervene, a house open to the landscape and simultaneously a more private space in which to enjoy the outdoors.
